I am sure there are a lot of students that also don't like having to work 40 hours per week (or more or less) to pay for their rent, food, clothing, etc. I am sure there are many students who also would like the benefits of "study table" and access to tutors. Yes, the NCAA needs to revise some of their policies. However, I cannot buy into the need for a union. Try a Top Ramen diet in a worn-down drafty apartment while trying to pay for "the life" with whatever job you kind find to support yourself. Many of the students in this country have it much harder than the student-athletes. Don't get me wrong. I pull for the student-athletes to succeed as students and athletes. I also hope that these individuals complete their undergrad programs and prepare for a successful career. Student-athletes and students can have very different realities.
