@EdLawDude@heitner The problem with college players is they have no knowledge of how the world works so they are easily taken advantage of. The union can easily be independent and it will be under extreme scrutiny so they will have solid representation but will be the school's idea.
@EdLawDude@heitner We have the government for that sort of thing! Companies are union busters. Instead of having your union busting meeting, you have your union organizing meeting. They tell you all the benefits of forming a union. Viola. Negotiations begin.
@flugempire@Bomb3r_CFBMafia College sports can't be fixed. It does not exist. So there will be provision after provision after provision. There are no fixes. Only disasters.
@profgoose College sports is such a mess it will take decades to reinvent. Any changes will have consequences beyond comprehension just like implementing the transfer rule will wipe out more than half of college football at this point. So we will see anti-trust provision after provision.
@kubeckj@zbritton Independent teams will become more talented but they will steer toward college players. The dropoff here is the high school player that can't pay his own way. A lot of college baseball is non-scholarship.
@DQuinn1575@bmarcello No, like I said every generation of player progresses past the previous generation so the talent will be less but nobody will notice just like they don't notice there is no Ernie Banks or Frank Robinson. Some teams may actually start looking and they may start to have advantage.
@DQuinn1575@bmarcello The overall level of talent is lower because they are no longer looking for it. They are farming it out and money will not be spent on acquiring it. Players get more highly developed over time so people will not notice just like you don't notice the absence of Vida Blue or Reggie
@jasonkredline It was already closed. Nothing that ever happens is anything that anyone predicted. Any moves that are made by Congress will have unexpected results. The future does not look like the present. When you look at CFB in 20 years, you will not know what you are looking at.
@DQuinn1575@bmarcello Baseball has acquired talent through volume in the past. You sign anybody that has talent and develop that talent get a lot of players in that process. The less volume you have, the less talent you produce.
@ZaidJilani Trump is a cult so he could bring them against the Israeli govt. Not Israel but if they are not following Trump they would turn against the govt.
@BotPostmed56555@ZaidJilani No, evangelicals believe strongly that "the Jews are God's chosen people." They believe if Israel is destroyed the world comes to an end. And that is what drives even the non-religious Boomers. It is part of American culture.
@kreichard@bmarcello Well baseball historically looked under every rock to find talent and they found a lot of it. But the game is very upscale today so I think probably makes sense. Those players are not so much available as in the past.
@bmarcello I suppose with baseball becoming an all-white upscale sport maybe finding talent is a lot easier than in the past since there are fewer people playing it and most can afford college or will be discovered by colleges. It is not necessary to develop poor kids anymore.
@bmarcello It would not kill the minor leagues. I guess the idea is to shift the expense of low minors to independents. It would definitely lead to a talent reduction in the majors over time. But they probably want to burn it all down like everything else for the last buck.
