I hate the argument that the players are getting screwed. They get elite healthcare, room and board, and a free degree of which the majority would not qualify academically at the institution they are attending much less have a scholarship. Marshall lynch attended uc Berkley. For free. Think about that.
If they don't like it and want to profit off their image the arena league and Canada are ready and willing out of high school.
Forget the fact that regardless of their performance in the pros they have a safety net of alumni that are ready and willing to help them be a success in life after football.

This, all of this.
Hell, a players' union probably would have a hard time negotiating better terms that what is already available to NCAA football players.
Look at the NFLPA - they can't get guaranteed contracts and let Goodell act as judge and jury. What is good for 99% of NCAA players is the current standard. The sooner people understand that, the better.
