re: Northwestern Football Players Can Unionize

I'm against unions when there are appropriate measures in place for workers to be treated fairly and appropriately.
I don't believe those measures are in place in college football, however. College football is a multibillion dollar industry. Sure the kids who go to the better private schools end up with an expensive education. But kids that go to state school make pennies compared to what they bring in.

You are making a huge leap when saying that the players bring in the revenue rather than the institutions themselves who have hundreds of millions of dollars of infrastructure, marketing, and in some cases hundreds of years of history building the marketplace.
Roughly 1/4th of all players are replaced yearly with no effect on profitability.
