Right at the moment when the debate over compensating college athletes was reaching its nadir, the schools are considering asking players to provide their unpaid labor in potentially unsafe conditions.

This is a new wrinkle.

But he was also told that if opted out because of the unity movement, the school would have "issues" with that. Some Wash St players reportedly have been kicked off the team for supporting unity. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29587843... The National Labor Relations Act would protect the students if they were "employees" of the school but a few years ago a couple federal courts ruled that student athletes aren't employees of their schools. The cases didn't go to the SCOTUS, but the current court wouldn't be friendly to them. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

This is why he coined the term "student athlete".
