Northwestern university union football Videos

i`m for players getting pay. But how would fans feel yrs from now when these athletes go on strike for more money>

While I firmly believe that universities and particularly the NCAA exploit student athletes, being considered an employee may have a tremendous downside. If the athletes are employees, then their scholarships, housing, etc. could be considered as income. At Northwestern, tuition, fees, room and board now cost $59,389. There's a lot of tax to be paid on $59,389! Federal tax in over $8,000; Social Security adds $3,600, Medicare withholding adds another $900; Illinois State Income Tax gets $3,000. That's over $15K in tax! Like I said, be careful what you wish for!
