A player's union is just a matter of time. That will lead to a collective bargaining agreement.

He just always stands up for common sense which forces his opponents into positions of absurdity.
They won't want a union and a collective bargaining agreement if it caps their wages. Now they are able to get whatever some rich booster thinks they are worth which in most cases is more than what they are worth in reality.

I am not so sure. While there are the bonus babies, the majority of players see by little money. When there is a vote for a union, they’ll far outweigh the bonus babies. That is how the NFL and NBA got salary caps; the promise of good money for marginal players by capping payroll which is more effective of team sorts.
I can see that but then what prevents the coveted top 100 or 200 guys from taking under the table payments from boosters or maybe not even under the table. Thus perpetuating the wild wild west of the best players just go to the biggest spending schools.

Yep. But that has been the problem for decades. We still have to count on the ncaa for compliance.
If there is a union and a collective bargaining agreement does that mean a salary cap? In the NFL you see guys getting record setting deals every year so would anything really change in terms of these big NIL spending schools still getting all the top players by throwing bags of cash at them?

Yes. There is a team cap. They also set rookie salary slots. They also set minimum for marginal, but important team players. Basically, teams have to decide player value, by person and position, within their budget. But overall, there will be team caps to keep a ND or USC can’t just go out and buy championships.
Okay we are in desperate need of this in cfb.

No doubt there will be a lawsuit(s) against the EO. Yet, NIL compensation has to have some regulation and oversight.
