very interesting, indeed. I don't know that I like the original plan to try to unveil it right before a bowl game.
That detail alone reeks of selfishness. It also tells me a guy like Huma was happy to use a guy like Colter like a pawn - face of a program, well-known, etc. without particular regard for the individual.
To me, this whole issue went sideways when the concept of a "union" became more prominent than the core issue of player advocacy. Unions are ultra-political entities that are extremely divisive. I still maintain that this has a better likelihood of public support and ultimately of success if they would have organized as a student advocacy organization, not unlike the American Medical Students Association.
