    Pac-12 Football Unity Demands
    To Protect and Benefit Both Scholarship and Walk-On Athletes


    I. Health & Safety Protections
    COVID-19 Protections

    Allow option not to play during the pandemic without losing athletics eligibility or spot on our team’s roster.
    Prohibit/void COVID-19 agreements that waive liability.

    Mandatory Safety Standards, Including COVID-19 Measures

    Player-approved health and safety standards enforced by a third party selected by players to address COVID-19, as well as serious injury, abuse and death.

    II. Protect All Sports
    Preserve All Existing Sports by Eliminating Excessive Expenditures

    Larry Scott, administrators, and coaches to voluntarily and drastically reduce excessive pay.
    End performance/academic bonuses.
    End lavish facility expenditures and use some endowment funds to preserve all sports.*

    *As an example, Stanford University should reinstate all sports discontinued by tapping into their $27.7 billion endowment.
    III. End Racial Injustice in College Sports and Society

    Form a permanent civic-engagement task force made up of our leaders, experts of our choice, and university and conference administrators to address outstanding issues such as racial injustice in college sports and in society.
    In partnership with the Pac-12, 2% of conference revenue would be directed by players to support financial aid for low-income Black students, community initiatives, and development programs for college athletes on each campus.
    Form annual Pac-12 Black College Athlete Summit with guaranteed representation of at least three athletes of our choice from every school.

    IV. Economic Freedom and Equity
    Guaranteed Medical Expense Coverage

    Medical insurance selected by players for sports-related medical conditions, including COVID- 19 illness, to cover six years after college athletics eligibility ends.

    Name, Image, and Likeness Rights & Representation

    The freedom to secure representation, receive basic necessities from any third party, and earn money for use of our name, image, and likeness rights.

    Fair Market Pay, Rights, & Freedoms

    Distribute 50% of each sport’s total conference revenue evenly among athletes in their respective sports.
    Six-year athletic scholarships to foster undergraduate and graduate degree completion.
    Elimination of all policies and practices restricting or deterring our freedom of speech, our ability to fully participate in charitable work, and our freedom to participate in campus activities outside of mandatory athletics participation.
    Ability of players of all sports to transfer one time without punishment, and additionally in cases of abuse or serious negligence.
    Ability to complete eligibility after participating in a pro draft if player goes undrafted and foregoes professional participation within seven days of the draft.
    Due process rights




    Fuck you ya little bitches - you want to distribute 50% of each sport’s total conference revenue evenly among athletes in their respective sports? GET FUCKED!! These fucking retards have no concept of operational expenses. They have no concept of profit margin, how thin they are and that most universities are operating athletics in the red.

    I can and have been doing well without these stupid fuckers. Haven't given a shit about who the QB will be, how our 100% new secondary will hold up - just don't fucking care.

    Been doing fine poundin the wives, bike riding, running and watching Netflix.

    Fuck you - shut it down, go home, don't want to watch you entitled mother fuckers running around thinking your imagined oppressed shit don't stink.


    Everything about this post is cringe, but maybe nothing more than seeing a grown man use the word retard
    Yeah but what else am I supposed to call Kim?

    My favorite takeaway here isn't that some of the players are greedy idiots who don't understand economics or the ramifications of title IX.

    The real winning revelation here is Stalin finally verbalizing what he's been wanting to say for a very long time - that the Marxists are here and their plot to overthrow our state institutions is finally in motion. And in the middle of the store no less. What a cool time to be a hardcore husky poster, man.

    Don’t confuse me rationalizing their thinking as saying that I agree with their thinking

    You gotta be pretty damn ignorant to not see what's happening with public education on the whole, as well as higher learning.
