I recall NW FB trying to do this a few years back. Had they succeeded, things would be really different right now.
This is necessary as college athletics is going to have to negotiate with some college athlete's entity in order to create a collective bargaining agreement. it will be interesting to see if it ends up being several unions or just one. By that I mean a union for football, basketball, baseball, etc. The issues are vastly different for a college rowing team member versus football. Or, will there be a union for everything that will negotiate a CBA for each sport. Probably the latter but it may take a while to get there.
