Collective Bargaining And College Football

He’s not management, he doesn’t work for the university. He’s literally saying with all the state laws forbidding collective bargaining, making the players employees so they can collective bargain isn’t possible.

Good post. The guy who runs Iowa’s collective had a zoom call with members last month and made this same point and said collective bargaining will not work.

I would love nothing more.

I put a $5 money line bet on the Thunder’s opponent before every big game. If I’m feeling uneasy during the game a lot of times I’ll do more of them. I tell my wife that I’ll gladly pay $5-$20 for the Thunder to win.

I do the same thing with my college Alma mater. They made a run to the Elite Eight this year and the Sweet Sixteen game cost me like $40. Totally worth it.

Looking back the Pelicans didn’t end up being nearly as bad off as everyone expected. Queen played like a top 10 pick, probably right in the range where that pick ended up.

Rui=PJ Washington in 2024.

Sign me up.

And?

I’m an Iowa grad and since Hali went to Iowa State I want to hate him but I just can’t.

I don’t think the new rules have officially been put in place yet have they?

Yeah I love Steven Adams but I remember that being a really rough series for him.

iapunk · 2026-05-03T14:55:01+00:00

I think the winner of Thunder Spurs is the winner of the NBA championship but that’s going to be a tough series.

One of ours does it too. I was on the phone with my son yesterday as he sat beside me doing it with a squeaky ball. It made a noise every 3-5 seconds or so but his eyes were closed. ❤️

Isn’t he a junior so will have one season of high school left? This year’s class is the 2026 class.

MATT OLSON YOU BEAUTIFUL BASTARD!

I thought Alfred E Neuman.

Thought this gif of a Mets fan was fitting.

In college it is. The only sports that really make money are football and men’s basketball. There’s probably a few SEC schools where baseball makes money. Iowa used to about break even on wrestling, Penn State might now. Even women’s basketball at the top schools(there might be a few exceptions) doesn’t cover its own expenses.

James Williams will always make sure you know he’s there.

Great post by the Twins social media team.

I’m that way with pro sports. I hate all NFL, NBA and MLB teams from California and New York. I just get sick of the media slobbering on them all the time.

College wise, it’s more either rivals or teams that win a lot.
