I thought the basic tenet of a labor union is that it represents employees. I guess these guys punch in at the time card in the gym.

I do not understand thinking it's OK paying a coach millions and the ones actually playing the game and risking injury not getting their share. Club sports were fine when little to no money was involved.
The student athlete the never really existed back during club sport days either. Get this, they got paid as superstars and the ones not getting paid got a fair share of the revenue just with the scholarships but coaches didn't make 200-300 times the average person. Colleges do not care if they are students, if they did, online classes would not be a thing that many of them never even grace the screen with their presence.
Universities make millions off these players, but - scholarships is their reward. You can have that view but you will never "MAKE" Universities insure they are real students again. Winning is too important to the bottom line. That genie is out of the bottle and it will not go back, players are getting paid because they can do one thing well and it's be an athlete. They are not given scholarships to become students, they are given scholarships in spite of their academic abilities or lack thereof to win ball games.
I see jealousy coming from this don't pay players group. The "I didn't get it, so why should they?" group. They can hit a jump shot, that's why.
