Organizing

Forming a national players association will establish a voice that demands to be heard. Football players only have up to five years in NCAA sports so there is no time to waste!

The NCAA won’t listen to one school. It is going to take all Division one football teams to come together for meaningful change to occur. It is vital that each Division I football team organize itself with a sense of urgency because progress cannot be made until every school is united across the nation.

This task is not as difficult as it appears to be. There are three steps:

1. Each football team must create a registered student group on campus -this usually only takes a few people and a statement of purpose. Forming these groups give student-athletes privileges that even the NCAA cannot tamper with.

2. Support from all of the members of each team should be generated. This group cannot claim to serve football players’ interests at your school if it has not acquired support from the vast majority of football players.

3. Form an affiliation with the CAC.

The players association will be complete once every football team in Division I has completed these steps.
