Not to mention that the level of control exerted over the athletes by their coaches is extensive, to say the least. The players in this case are not seeking anything resembling pay-for-play and acknowledge that it is not currently possible even if they were to unionize. These guys are seeking benefits to help them in their post-college athletics lives, not for "more money".
