Look, an organized attempt by student-athletes to unionize appears flawed and a major long shot for implementation. There?s a strong argument to be made they aren?t employees ? they receive grants in aid ? and their status at a school, both as a student and as an athlete, is voluntary. But the College Athletes Players Association, introduced last week by former Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter and lauded by his athletic director, James Phillips, raises a lot of issues that need to be explored.
