List of Pac 12 player statements and demands

Gustav

Aren't a couple of those already new rules this year?

8/2/20 7:57am

Yes. The A5 said that they will honor the scholarship

Everyman

Some is reasonable but some is nutty

Gustav

Agree. Not sure how seriously it can be taken when its not well thought out

So do players have to pay if their sport (most of them) loses money?

South_A

8/2/20 8:52am

That's profit, not revenue

8/2/20 9:12am

So they get to pretend expenses dont exist?

South_A

The demand is revenue, not profit.

You can totally tell this was written solely with football players in mind.

Which do you see as reasonable?

Some of the covid related stuff

Gustav

All of these are intellectually consistent with the schools they represent.

rad dawg

8/2/20 8:08am

Yet none of them personally sign their name

Hoax

8/2/20 8:09am

They aren't signing their names for two reasons, and both are likely true

Crazy Joe Davola

8/2/20 8:14am

That’s what I mean

Hoax

8/2/20 8:21am

Don't worry, Pac-12 athletes. I fixed it for you!

At some point the actual academic universities like Stanford are just gonna say

Kajdin

8/2/20 8:24am

I doubt most of their big donors even care about Stanford sports

Nat Gas Man

So for the even distribution of revenue, does that mean Olympic sports will pay

LaserCoug

8/2/20 8:29am

That's my reading — good luck given that those sports already operate at loss

Gustav

Title IX will bar this. They’re too dumb to grasp that apparently.

While I don’t doubt their idealism and sincerity, I think it’s fair to question

Pac 12 Olympic sports players getting their share of “revenue”

Its like they are forced against will to go to college for free to PLAY sports.

South_A

8/2/20 8:51am

Written by a couple of fencers and rowers.

Thrill

8/2/20 9:59am

Oh good, another oppressed, picked on group who is gets to play sports in

coolblue

We demand you give all our coaches to other conferences and replace with cheaper

So THIS is how BYU wins another national championship. Players don't play due to social justice demands.
