Tennessee men’s basketball student-athletes, alongside Athletes.org, have negotiated a proposed collective bargaining term sheet. From Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger: “The released term sheet touches on such concepts as contractual compensation, a salary cap, performance bonus pools, rookie/freshmen wage scale, guaranteed medical and healthcare coverage, the transfer portal length and timing, an enforcement system and agent policies. The agreement is intended to eventually operate under a unique employment model that White believes avoids problematic issues often cited by critics of collective bargaining, most notably state laws against labor and unionization at public universities.” Vols AD Danny White: “We are going to be at a CBA at some point. My position all along is the faster we can sprint to that the better college sports will be. Giving student-athletes a voice doesn't have to be something we are afraid of. They want a lot of the same things we want. … The overarching thing from our athletes is they want a CBA. We do have a willing party. … If we don't start working on a CBA now, it is going to take a really long time. We should be making an effort on how to expedite this.” (link, link - full term sheet)
