UAB Players Unionizing

[Dawgg]

Sorry if Germans, I didn't see it posted, but UAB is about to be the first FBS school to have their players join a players association:

UAB becomes 1st Division I football team to join players association

The UAB football team became the first in Division I to sign on with Athletes.org, a budding players' association.

Their head coach, Trent Dilfer, actually encouraged it and introduced them to the association.

Trent, the only QB ever ejected from an NFL game to my knowledge. He was kicking and stepping on John Randle, who is a very large human being.


ETA: Found the footage.

UAB shut that program down once. Don't give them a reason to do it again.

Smart move for Trent.

It establishes himself as player friendly.

UAB Bama shut that program down once. Don't give them a reason to do it again.

I corrected your post for you.
