Can NCAA fix players quitting and self red shirting?

NFL unions work well because players are employees. Right now student-athletes are not employees thus no unions or CBAs. With a couple of cases going through the courts that could change and all hell will break through.

I don't see how athletes can become employees and the requirement that they be students be maintained. Other employees of the schools and athletic associations are not required to be students at the school. Further, being a student is definitely not a BFOQ of the job of football player or other athlete.

Schools already have jobs that are only available to current students.

I don’t disagree with you….though I was a paid student intern in the ADs office when I was in law school while on an academic scholarship.

Even those on scholarship.

Yes, anyone can receive NIL money if someone wants to pay them but why would an NIL collective give money to a person who is not eligible to play? The NCAA could establish academic requirements and all of its members could agree to abide by them. There is no constitutional right to play college football and, at least at the moment, college football players have to be enrolled as students at the school they play for. The NCAA can set the rules as to what academic/admission requirements players must meet to be enrolled as a student.

their might not be a constitutional right. However so far every court has upheld the players rights. Even when it comes to losing eligibility to play after transfer. So sorry if I’m a bit skeptical that the NCAA could make any of those rules stick.
