For now, CAPA's stated goals don't involve obtaining pay for players. It merely seeks better medical protections, and fully-guaranteed scholarships that cover the full cost of attending college and wouldn't be taken away if an athlete can't continue playing due to injury. It also wants to establish a fund that would pay players to continue their educations after their NCAA eligibility expires.
As part of the collective bargaining I would expect the players to play a full four (or redshirt five) years. No leaving early for the NFL.

This. If they are not looking for pay, this could be a golden opportunity for the NCAA schools to put the brakes on early departures.
