It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

Bigger thing than the pay, in my opinion, is that if they are treated as employees, then universities will have to cover things like workman's comp, possibly even unemployment. The insurance costs alone would possibly be cause enough for a lot of schools to shut down their programs.

Was actually caused more by bad and greedy management than the union? Sounds like the NCAA to me. In reality though, a lot of schools probably would shut down because any significant expense going to the players would be an additional burden some schools wouldn't want to deal with. Even if it is just things like providing health insurance and workman's comp.
