Amateurism is an excuse to subjugate young, talented athletes.
Classify them as employees. Pay them a fair wage. Let them unionize.
The NCAA caps sport participation at 20 hours a week in season, and 8 hours out of season. That's a joke.
Many athletes struggle to pay rent and groceries. Pay college athletes a liveable wage for the time they spend working for their univeristy.
Student Athletes deserve a trade union. It's time for colleges and athletic departments to recognize them as the collective bloc they are.
