2014 NCAA Football Thread

It won't fully work though, because some states don't allow Unions. So how do players unionize in non-union states? Schools in those states don't have to listen to it.

 

Some states are "Right To Work" states. This means that you don't have to be in the union to work for that company. You get treated differently I'm sure. Hazed if you will. I doubt the players would try to unionize if they state made it illegal.

 

This is 100% false

 

Maybe not illegal, but don't have to accept/support them.

 

Yes, they still have to acknowledge a union if employees vote to become unionized.

 

At this point in time (the way I understand it) it's only private schools that are involved, not state ran institutions.

I like his perspective and thoughts.

 

The big difference is the right to collective bargaining. For example in Alabama we are a right to work state. We do not have collective bargaining and our union does not have a contract with the city. (I'm talking about my fire department) We can have PAC Funds (political action committees) that donate money to certain politicians and lobby for stuff but it's not like the unions up north. I would think the same would be for football players. However unions from up north have made changes to our job that have affected every fireman in the country union or not. I would bet the same would happen for college football.

 

Exactly

 

yes meyer has recruited well from the south... (thank god) the best recruiter weve had since john cooper (coop),, if you look at what hes done its been pretty amazing.. weve had it easy here, we play shit teams, kick ass, go to the sec and look stupid.. lol....I believe he will fix this.. we are used to 2-3 star recruits who play there ass's off, one or two 4 star recruits who don't add up to the hype.. and playing a slow grinding 3 yards and a cloud of dust football.. (tressel-ball) hes come in,, made them play faster, and brought in a shit tone of talent,, even some 5 star recruits. realized over last couple years we slacked on defense and is trying to sure it up.. it will be interesting to say the least.. our offense isn't as good as last year (but) I feel they will surprise,, our defense is full of new raw talent, so I will keep my fingers crossed.. expectations are always high here but I really feel we can win big 10 , and prolly hope for rose bowl or something,, little early with so much young talent to hope for more..

 

You're the most reasonable, realistic Buckeye fan I've heard in a long time. Big ups to you.

I dislike Urban from his time in the SEC, and I'll always enjoy seeing him fail, but he's a good coach and he'll continue to do well at tOSU.

 

Any time Urban Meyer is brought up, I feel the need to post this picture of him and Mullen chilling out at a Jimmy Buffett concert.

 

He is their Jamaica Mistaica

 

I remember when urban was at florida osu fans couldn't stand him said he recruited dirty, let thugs play etc...then when he jumped to osu they set him on a pedestal right next to woody.

 

Pot meet kettle...

 

Another interesting take on players unionizing

 

Georgia Football: Why Bulldogs Are True National Title Contenders in 2014

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...gs-are-true-national-title-contenders-in-2014

Got to get past Clemson & SC first.....then it'll be smooth sailing.

 

New QB and a lost to Auburn will make a run at the National Title difficult. But if it's not Auburn in the game I hope it's the Bulldogs. Definitely my 2nd favorite team!

 

I don't see it happening
