    HOLY FREAKING SHEET.... I'm rolling;

    As a Pac-12 athlete on the track/xc team at Cal Berkeley, I’m proud to be a member of the college athlete community — though these injustices must be addressed with systemic reform that benefit all athletes. Until then, I’m opting out of the fall season ✊🏼 #WeAreUnited

    Cal’s athletic department barely hangs on financially as it is. Is this guy who runs on trails as his skill on any sort of athletic scholarship? What a waste of money, if so.

    I really think he should be the change and give his scholarship to someone that is less fortunate and a person of color. Why take their spot?

    I can’t tell if this Cooper guy is on scholarship but I did find out he’s a WSU graduate from Issaquah who is in Grad school at Cal and took 65th in the Pac12 XC championship last year. Basically a rich white kid walk-on looking for attention.

    I like to pick a school based on lavish facilities and use them to train for a career then demand that they be abolished

    I laughed when I read that demand ... if I was a negotiator in this I'd have no problem calling out hypocritical bullshit on that one.

    6. Due process rights

    Agree with this one. Students being booted from schools and scholarships by a student board based on the claims of some SJW co-ed is just wrong. It’s part of the deal, though. So, reconsidered, fuck off.

    Thought this was relevant even if a few months ago. Those poor sportsball slaves choosing to take full-ride scholarships to play Sports Ball. Blazers are on now and we’re? all at the driving range as a family.

    Normally watching Lillard would be my afternoon. This Wazzu clown is pushing me further away.

    Coug It!

    At this point, I’m strongly considering a refund on my two Ducks tickets, as is being offered. DAF money is lost, but I’ll give up my seats for any suckers who want to take them over. What’s the point if these spoiled kids don’t realize the opportunity they are being given to play a sport and get an education? They even get tutors for free.

    Distribute 50% of each sport’s total conference revenue evenly among athletes in their respective sports.

    So only pay athletes in money making sports? The others will take the negative revenues and add it to their yearly costs?
    Or do they want the total revenues divided equally to each sport?
    Or am I stupid and don't know how to interpret what I read? (if this was a pole I select this one)

    Very convenient for the four Duck players that are the face of the movement . Two are seniors and the other two (juniors) will go out after this year. Foregoing this season won’t hurt them at all. Penei Sewell will be a very high first round draft pick.

    If they persist and the season is cancelled, they better hope the other conferences (SEC, Big 10, ACC et al) follow suit.

    Players make the roster in exact percentages of the population. Football will be keystone cops good.
