Ruling: players are employees

Can they file a grievance if they don't get enough playing time? Will seniors have to play no matter what because they have seniority? Can they take 8 weeks off to take care of a kid with the crud and not lose their spot?

"A player shouldn't lose his job to injury"
 
If they're employees then they don't need to be given scholarships, free housing, etc. You don't usually get paid up front to take a job.

No signing bonuses in big money football? Since when?

Yes, pay the players, and you do not need to give them scholarships.

Maybe something along the lines of each player is given a choice: take the full scholarship and small stipend if you know you have no chance of making it in the NFL and don't wanna play for the Portland Thunder or the school just gives you in money what the scholarship is worth, you obviously don't need to go to class now, and you can go invest the money in hookers and blow until you go work out at the combine.

And remove all academic requirements. Also, let the stars negotiate bigger salaries. Why shouldn't Sankey get paid more than Harvigston?

I'd like to see how they apparently fall squarely under the federal definition of an employee but then be somehow exempt from income tax.
 
Don't change what works. The system has its flaws, but it provides us with great college football every year. Prick ass whiny liberal power to the people while I'm sipping my latte in my white ivory tower fucknuts like the cunts that go to Northwestern, must always rabble rouse because they have nothing better to do.

They can easily devise a program to loan the athlete's money to pay the tax, allow it to compound at about 7% and defer payments until about six months after they graduate or flunk out.
