I assumed the NAIA and JUCOs would have to have their own CBA (if at all).
What I didn't know is whether the CBAs would need to provisions to address the movement of players between the systems vs. the CBAs being truly independent of each other because there would never be a scenario where a school would be subject to multiple CBAs. The other thing I wasn't sure about is the impact Title IX could have on the parameters of what the CBA could and couldn't cover. For example, the schools couldn't enter into a CBA with just the 2 men's revenue sports and exclude the women altogether. Likewise, all schools, regardless of their affiliation, may have to agree to the same CBA because of how fluid it is for the players to move around and because schools are able to compete against teams from other division levels or associations (i.e. NCAA vs. NAIA games).
