I saw a fictionalized movie that I believe in on Netflix called National Champions which came out in 2021 and has a great cast
The background is 3 days b4 the National Championship, the star QB and Heisman Winner of the favored team announces over social media that he is boycotting the game until the players ( ALL of Them) receive some kind of collective wage, whether it's the star QB at USC or a backup rower on a woman's crew team. At one point he has 40 players total- from both teams agreeing to sit til their demands are met
Although it's fictionalized, it was really good at predicting the sea change we are currently seeing and shows how ruthless the NCAA was to hold onto power - reminded me a bit of when Geo was gonna sit out the NCAA tournament.
Def a good 2 hour watch if you have time
