problem is, you do not get to decide what is acceptable compensation. the employees and the employer doAnd they already are compensated.
obviously, the employees feel under-compensated, which has caused them to seek negotiation of the matter
the employees know what they are receiving, and they are asserting that what they are receiving is inadequateEducation, housing, travel, facilities, meals, exposure, etc...
and they now seek to be declared authorized to negotiate a different compensation package
no, it's really about their conditions of employment. the things unions bargain aboutThis argument isn't about college athletes being paid really, it's about liberals hating that someone can make millions.
the employees are concerned about health hazards, such as concussions, and their subsequent compensation if they are hurt on the job
that would seem to be a legitimate - and wise - concern to have, if it is not already being adequately addressed by their employer
the immature argument is one which advocates denying these employees their legitimate rights as bargaining unit membersIt's an immature argument.
