I broke down some of the emerging legal issues for college football players under COVID-19 in 2020:
– Status as employees
– Union eligibility
– Player associations
– And the NCAA's role with eachhttps://t.co/FOOPdyZsFV— Cameron Soran (@cameronsoran) August 20, 2020

Very interesting. I am convinced that this year will lead to some change in the power dynamics between schools and players. I had not thought about the trade association angle. It is worth thinking about t

I also do labor and employment law and his analysis is similar to mine. I don’t know that trade associations are necessarily a good answer to the issue of player negotiation. I’ve represented employers in trade associations and they are still open to challenges under federal and state anti-trust laws. Unions are exempt from such laws.
I can see a scenario where there is constant anti-trust litigation against the universities and the associations by athletes who disagree with the standard agreement terms or are otherwise unhappy, the Ball family and UCLA come to mind.
Still, interesting stuff.
