Collective bargaining

“Collective bargaining”

I have heard this catch phrase nonstop this offseason. What I haven’t heard is how anyone hopes for a collective bargaining agreement between players who play for conferences with separate and different TV deals.

Is there any merit to this collective bargaining as long as the Big 10 is making more than the other power conferences?

How can we hope to have any agreement with Notre Dame and their unique NBC deal?

Do we expect those who currently have to settle for less?

Has anyone heard anything different from what maybe I’m missing?

A lot has to happen first, but I guess it's obvious enough that the player-team relationship is changing quickly and dramatically, and the house settlement allows schools to pay players. So since it's the offseason we can skip ahead 5 years and talk about where it might be going.

That is not "merit", no. We'll see.
