Or, and hear me out, use the federal labor laws that already exist and establish a player's union and enter into a collective bargaining agreement.
The only reason to entertain a change to federal law is if your intent is to return to an exploitive model.
Who would the players union bargain with? Each school would have to bargain with a separate local that only represents athletes at that school. To have pro sports style collective bargaining you have to have legislation to allow it.
The current system is good for players. No salary cap, total free agency, no contracts. This is 100% tilted in favor of the workers.
Those providing the funds will eventually run into fatigue with the current system. I don’t expect people to keep tossing huge sums of capital into a system where they have no ownership. It makes no sense and I’m shocked it’s as much money as it is, but people will do some crazy **** with their cash.

I think it's good for the upper echelon of players who stay healthy and productive while being bad for the rest of the players.
Comments are pure gold. The guy got excoriated. Ripped a new asshole. Not a single comment agreed with him/her.
Well, I think there’s a downside. But I’ve shared my opinion a ton of times. It’s great for the higher tier of, mainly, football players and men’s basketball players.
It is crazy but at the same time, I get it. If I had millions and millions of dollars, I would be throwing it around to try and see a CU national championship in my lifetime.

Wonder if my son can/should quote this in his statement of continued interest for his application to Notre Dame.

Zach, a close friend of mine here in CO, is cousin to the UT dude below that got memed.
After, the cousin's images were circulating in the family gc. Zach saw it on a Reddit thread and commented "that's my cousin!". Zach got contacted by an Austin News station and put them in contact with his cousin who got interviewed and stretched out his moment of game. I'm guessing the cousin gets a lot of free drinks in Austin bars.

Shades of Lou Holz before the 1991 Orange Bowl.
Holy **** this is kind of wild
There are already competitors. Jimmy Horn was promoting one on his IG the other day, it’s called Roy
It officially passes so all former JUCO players have another year of eligibility *cough* Preston Hodge *cough*
My only question is whether that extends beyond next season or not. For example, could a player have spent 2-3 years at a JUCO and have another 5 to play 4 at the FBS level?

Well, it looks like the entire Kansas State team will get an extra year or two.
Looks like transfer LB, Reginald Hughes, will also get another year.

"Prior to Jax State, Hughes played two seasons at Ole Miss, recording 6 tackles in 12 games in 2022. He also played at Northeast Mississippi Community College in 2021 and was one of the top JUCO linebackers in the country."

kjuco alumni admits to 5hitting his pants regularly via a double negative. All the glory to ya, bub.
The origin of the power towel?
Salary caps and restrictions on the movement of workers is the exception, not the norm. You need an exemption from Congress to do that.
