The complex subject of whether to pay college athletes just got a little more complex this past week with the ruling from the National Labor Relations Board regional director that Northwestern football players qualify as university employees, and thus, can unionize. This, during the same week that even more national exposure was given to UNC, on HBO and ESPN, for their institutional acceptance of illiterate but highly-skilled athletes who are passed through the school academically in a 100% fraudulent manner with worthless degrees and no future. Carolinas response was to fight back Thursday by showcasing athletes who said they’ve had a good academic experience – in contrast to former players who this week portrayed their education as little more than an eligibility scam. I mix these two topics together because it sure does make the case that at if youre going to have athletes representing your university who dont remotely belong there academically, the least you can do is fairly pay them for their services during their tenure.
