And considering the amount of money that the fans put into supporting their program, the amount of money that games bring into the local economy and the massive TV contracts, you are looking at a massive fallout....and there might even be some type of breach of contract involved with the TV deals.

If our players threatened to go on strike, I would expect our coach to make it very clear that they were free to protest and that he supported their right to do so, but that it would not be done at the expense of the football program and that any player that did try to go on strike would immediately lose their scholarship. I just think that it has to be made very clear that there is no circumstance under which going on strike is a viable option.
You can not pull a kid's scholarship because they are advocating for something they believe in. I mean, you can, but that would be way worse than supporting them. I would hope Mullen wouldn't do that. He would be absolutely destroyed across the country, and that would be far more detrimental to his future job prospects than this is for Pinkel's.
