Did you ever catch some FBS games on TV last Saturday? Did you notice #APU on some players' wrist tape? (In particular games involving Georgia Tech, Georgia and Northwestern)

#APU is All Players United, an effort by the National College Players Association (an unofficial NCAA equivalent of the NFLPA) that advocates NCAA reform.

Are any FCS schools planning to join the party in the coming weeks?

I am familiar with the NCPA but did not hear about the "protest" until afterwards. It will be interesting to see if this spreads. The NCPA has been around for some time and this is more publicity than they've gotten in a while.

They were talking about this on sports radio on my way home from the game in Duluth late last night. The announcers think that this will eventually gain momentum.
