How a few D.C. bureaucrats will destroy college football

How a few D.C. bureaucrats will destroy college football - MarketWatch:
"Student athletes aren’t employees, and shouldn’t be allowed to form a union
Women’s athletic scholarships do not constitute a “transfer of economic value.”
The omission of women could pose substantial Title IX problems for universities, because under court interpretations of Title IX women are supposed to be treated the same as men.
Otherwise, according to the Department of Education, their civil rights are violated.
Universities already have to make sure the same proportion of women as men join top division teams, with the result that some men’s teams have closed down because fewer women choose to participate. One can quickly imagine the cries of horror from feminists, the negative headlines, and the flood of lawsuits if male but not female players are permitted to unionize.
Treating football students on scholarship as employees immediately opens a hornets’ nest as to how to treat students who are not on scholarship.
A team could have some students on scholarship and the rest who pay tuition.
Out of 112 players, 85 were on scholarship.
Would the remaining 27 students on the team not form part of the union?
Would they be considered “free riders” in that they might receive benefits of a better schedule without having to pay union dues?
Or, would they be required to pay agency fees to the union, in the same way the public teachers in California have to pay fees to the California Teachers’ Association...?
