In their article, professors Nathan Kalman-Lamb and Derek Silva argue that college football is morally indefensible due to economic exploitation, racial inequalities, inadequate academic experiences, and the physical harm suffered by players. They highlight the lack of compensation for athletes compared to the substantial earnings of coaches and administrators, the disproportionate racial demographics of players versus the benefits received by others, and the negative impacts on players' education and health. The authors propose unionization and collective bargaining as short-term solutions, but ultimately advocate for the end of college football in order to address the harm it perpetuates and create a society with more opportunities and equity for all.
