When the athletic departments start paying players the NIL money they are in fact are employees. If memory serves one schools in a secondary east coast conference whose name escapes me have their players trying to form a union.
The players are not employees. They are offered an educational scholarship to play sports. It's a signed agreement, but nobody forces them to take a free education, or play a game in college. Many walk-on at their own expense in hopes of gaining that scholarship.
