Kyle Pitts Predicts College Football Union, Calls NFL Returnees to Campus Crazy at 25

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 16

Kyle Pitts said college football players will unionize, arguing NIL has already given athletes enough leverage to push for broader rights and a stronger collective voice.
The 25-year-old Falcons tight end also called it "crazy" for players who have already gone through NFL training camp to return to college, saying camp is a "badge of honor" and going back is a regression.
Pitts said any future union could be powerful because donors and NIL money are already driving change, with players increasingly getting what he described as their money's worth from name, image and likeness deals.
The comments come as debate continues over whether athletes with pro experience should reenter college football, even after LSU appeared to back away from trying to add professional players.
