Pat McAfee highlights a crucial issue in college sports: athletes lack representation at the decision-making table. While coaches, administrators, and trainers have associations advocating for their interests, college athletes are left without a unified or organized voice to address critical issues like the transfer portal disrupting March Madness. 

Athletes.org is here to change that. By creating a players association, we aim to ensure athletes have a seat at the table where decisions are made. The transfer portal opening during the NCAA tournament is just one example of how players’ needs are overlooked. Decisions like these are often made by administrators and advisors who prioritize institutional interests over the athlete experience.

College athletes deserve advocacy that protects their rights and promotes fairness. It’s time to empower athletes with representation that ensures their voices are heard in shaping the future of college sports. Let’s fix this together.
