FC: Sean Clifford unionizing players at Penn State.
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
Northwestern tried that sometime in the last decade and NLRB said no.

How Northwestern football union nearly came to be
When a former UCLA linebacker and a Northwestern quarterback joined forces to start a labor movement among college athletes, they rattled the NCAA to its very foundation.

I could certainly understand why Clifford would the best medical care possible.
Yes, a timely reminder. If it goes through the NLRB again, we’d probably get a similar decision.Northwestern tried that sometime in the last decade and NLRB said no.

How far along in negotiations were the CFPA*with the Big Ten then? I mean, players couldn’t make money off their name ten years ago - things change.
* Also did not exist ten years ago.

This has been updated to say that they are looking to partner, not create a union at this time.
I sure hope Sean is spend as much time with his playbook and video as he is with his NIL collective and now this. If he wanted to be a businessman, he should have stepped away from football.

Does this mean that Franklin won’t be able to communicate with Clifford directly?
Franklin: Sean, let’s talk about the XYZ play to make sure we’re ready for Saturday.
Clifford: Coach, talk to my union rep.
And does this mean that players will only be able to run certain plays based on their union contract job description?
Clifford: Coach, I don’t do the running plays. I only throw.

So, he started his own business* and now wants to organize others on the team (in some way) to negotiate with the school/the conference/whoever for financial gain in some form. This, is getting very interesting. Makes me wonder if some are starting to question his future at the school.

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford increased his involvement in the name, image and likeness space Sunday when he announced the creation of an agency, Limitless NIL, to help connect college athletes with opportunities to maximize their value.
Clifford made the announcement through an ESPN story and on social media.
“This class of student-athletes have the opportunity to set the stage for the next generation to come. When I created Limitless, I asked “what is the perfect agency for US?” Today, I am happy to announce I turned it into reality @LimitlessNIL,” Clifford tweeted.

And who would "some" be?
Good for Sean - he has completed all his degree requirements - I think he was a business major - and as such, he is making practical use of his degree and his experience as a student athlete.
Not sure why "some" would question his future at the school. That is just a ridiculous statement.
Should I be the first to say that after playing behind PSU's O-Line for the past 3 years I can see why he'd want better medical care?
He takes the absolute minimum credit load, if any.How does he find the time for this crap given football and classes?
He already has two degrees and this is his CoVid year.
Plenty of time on his hands.
With that o-line, he should carry a clipboard and wait for the draft.Should I be the first to say that after playing behind PSU's O-Line for the past 3 years I can see why he'd want better medical care?
Good technique, but 72's arms should be inside 59 on his shoulder pads.

If he runs a business completely separate and distinct from the University, good for Sean. If his business involves the student athletes then there is the potential for conflict of business, depending on how, where, and to what end it is conducted. I tried to make my comment broad as clarity on what his intent is has already changed some (there's that word again!) from what's been said i.e. unionizing, not unionizing, however, therein should lie a clue to you.
Thanks for using Keanu Reeves as many say I look like him, so it makes me think that's me looking at you.
Why can’t he do both? I mean, he’s got to be close to retirement age by now. Has to plan for the future.
What is the players' leverage? Will they strike/work slow-down if the conference won't share revenue? If that happens, will walk-ons replace striking players? How will the NFL evaluate players who refuse to play?
One of my top 5 least favorite bands of all time. Makes me angry just to see them.
Just imagine the future possibilities, if negotiations get tense we may have Union Goons guarding the players locker room, and the Pa. National Guard on patrol outside the Lasch building escorting in the coaches. Also NLRB mediators formulating the game plans during cooling off periods.
The president attending labor negotiations in-person during strikes.

If our OL is guarding the locker room, the players are in deep sh*t!
It would also help if 72 would hit the Northwestern dude instead of his teammate!
What is "crap" to you may not be "crap" to others. I'm not sure of this, but being a 6th year player Clifford may not have any classes. Could someone clarify?How does he find the time for this crap given football and classes?
College football is dead. I think I'm done with it. And I know I won't be the only one. Woke nonsense strikes again.
My impression is that your convenient response to every complex issue is the same --- "Woke nonsense".
Revenue sharing? Is he proposing revenue be pulled from spring women's lax, men's diving, etc..., so FB players get more money?
