This is my first post on the FDR forum so here goes. 1) What do libertarian-minded free-market types think about this recent development in college athletics? Is this a step in the right direction towards the free market? 2) Many typical anti-union arguments are being thrown at this. Examples:
Democrats like unions. Republicans hate unions. Unions are bad.
Aren't students being compensated with an all expensed paid education?
Why stop with the athletes? What about the marching band, cheerleaders, debate team, engineering team.
Won't this destroy college athletics?
