Collective bargaining in college sports will be pushed by schools — not athletes.
Why?
Right now, schools are capped at $20.5M/year in athlete pay.
But third-party NIL deals? Still uncapped.
Without unionization, athletes could eventually claim 50–70% of total department revenue.
That’s why the pressure is building — inside the building.
