I do think that student athletes looking at ever increasing coaching salaries and sprawling athletic department bureaucracies supported by revenues they generate have a right to be pissed off about it.  I also think that players seeing a thinly veiled player of their likeness in a video game and being denied royalties from the use of their likeness also have a right to be upset.

But again, my proposal is to move towards a more amateur model of college sports (taking a lot of the big money out of it) and returning to its more provincial roots with fewer games total, played at times more conducive towards athlete health rather than TV viewer convenience, and fewer post-season games, and really do away with close facsimiles of players on video games.  Neverr going to happen, though.

But players playing a dangerous sport with long term consequences are right to demand better health insurance.
