The news that college athletes could join a union has been greeted as a triumph for the student over the big-money NCAA.
Members of the top college basketball and football programs want their share of the money produced for their schools.
How many would benefit from this?
Maybe one percent of the top players.
Who would get hurt?
The many players at lower levels, and minor sports, who have scholarships and place to place thanks to all the money brought in by March Madness and the coming football playoff.
If colleges need to pay athletes in football and men's basketball, there will be less for others.
Or we could raise the athletic fees for college, so the rest of the student body could give money to athletes on the top teams.
Think about it that way.
