The Saga of the House Settlement

[WhosYourDawggy]

The settlement no, but any fix is going to be. College athletes are going to have to collective bargain

Collective bargaining has nothing to do with Congress.

Yes it does. Congress is going to have to grant an anti trust exemption for college football.

No, they don't have to have anti-trust exemption to have collective bargaining. MLB has an exclusion, but it is judicial in nature not legislative. The other three leagues don't have exemptions from the Sherman Act. Without going into detail, they basically have been able to argue when it comes to their relationship with their players, while their behavior is monopolistic, and possibly violative of Sherman, there are exceptions they have been able to prove to stay out of trouble. Candidly, it's that the players agree with the leagues that make this happen.
