Coaches are going to be unionized too?

Price fixing is illegal (which setting a salary cap is) except if there is a collective bargaining agreement in place. In order to have a CBA, a union will need to be in place. Same for the athletes.

If they want a salary cap on players, it works for coaches as well. **

Hollywood actors/actresses were paying the USC rowing coach 6 figures
mrcaniac • 09/08/24 01:53 PM ET
Yeah Stanford similar things going on, I am sure it was happening all over.**
Stech • 09/09/24 08:16 AM ET
Wouldn't that have required more coin?**
Femoyer Hokie • 09/08/24 02:39 PM ET
That Texas number is kind of shocking
mrcaniac • 09/07/24 11:08 AM ET
Way more than we will ever have!**
VPI 1924 • 09/07/24 10:27 AM ET
Kinda looks that way**
VTinSC • 09/07/24 10:42 AM ET
Does that mean VT should just pack things in and turn out the lights?**
VTHokie2000 • 09/07/24 11:27 AM ET
Yes
VPI 1924 • 09/07/24 01:15 PM ET
Just read an opinion article that says just that. Yahoo news. About U Md.
