[QUOTE="GTJason, post: 40330, member: 94"] This is simply a group of 18-23 yr olds who don't know what they are asking for. I suspect someone is behind the scenes that conveniently has the complete plans to create a players union and will become a billionaire off of it. There are certain things the colleges should be responsible for and long term healthcare for injuries sustained in the game is certainly one of them. If you don't agree look at our military. I'm not comparing football to the military, that's Kellen Winslow's job, but if they are injured in the line of duty we take care of them for life 100%. Does anyone argue that we shouldn't? No, of course not. If Julian Burnett has back and neck pain for the rest of his life, is that just the price he paid for his top quality education? I personally don't think so. Is a union a way to get this? I don't think so. The NCAA is already a union of sorts, they exert control over the schools on behalf of the players (theoretically.) If the NCAA said long term healthcare is on the school, every school would do it. Last time I checked unions have dues, are the players who supposedly aren't being paid going to fork out monthly dues? The school sure as crap isn't going to pay for it. All of the other items they are asking for is garbage and it'll just add bureaucracy to the game on an insane level You know CAPA doesn't give a crap about the first 2 items. They want royalties from the endorsements and that is all [/QUOTE]
