season getting cancelled is not viewing this situation correctly at all. The NCAA and conference commissioners are trying to retain as much power and money as they can from the players as they can. They realize that players organizing is a threat to their power and pocketbooks. The realize that there are concessions they would need to make to have this season happen, thus they view a cancellation as a better course of action to keep the status quo.

It's pretty unconscionable really, as they have had ample time to work on a model that would be sustainable for college athletics (even pre-Covid), but they have chosen not to do so because they are selfish, power hungry, and greedy.

Please explain why this message is being reported.
