bargaining agreement with the players is a WHEN, no longer an IF. Any solution to the current issues plaguing the NCAA that do not address collective bargaining are not good faith arguments in my opinion; the op-ed from Jack and Jenkins didn't address collective bargaining.
In my opinion, we saw the impact COVID had on athletic departments. I think school universities and presidents all know that collective bargaining is coming down the pipe here sooner rather than later and are shitting their pants at the havoc that's going to have on their P&Ls as well as administrative bloat. My cynical take away from their op-ed was that they're hoping for a hail mary from Congress that allows them to continue with their cartel-like business operations.
form of college athletics that most others dont care about. As I said in another post I think they are trying to find the best solution to a problem that does not have a good solution. No one would ever create a business where the labor does not get paid but that is what eveolved here.
