LOL. Asking for a raise isn’t an adult thing to do?
As a handful of guys in a half assed football conference with half empty stadiums and shitty TV ratings they don't have that much leverage. If they get the SEC and B1G on board as part of a union they might have something. The thing is, the best players are gone in a few years and don't play by the rules anyway. The other guys are completely expendable.
Also, I don't understand the position that the full ride college scholarship isn't a thing of value. I understand that college football is nearly a full time job, but nobody forced these kids and their parents to play college football or go to college in the first place. Additionally, stipends are about $1,000 per month.
And if being a college football player is something you consider to be a job, rather than a means to an end, your head's in the wrong place. If you're a bona fide NFL prospect, you need everything a P5 college football team can give you to develop in to an NFL player. Everybody else is just aloong for the ride and should be figuring out how to use that scholarship to secure their future.
