Sounds like a lot of Freshmen and Sophomores will be starting in the PAC-12 this season.
A group of Pac-12 football players from multiple schools is threatening to opt out of both preseason camps and games until its negotiations with the league regarding concerns about racial injustice, their safety during the coronavirus pandemic and other demands are completed.

Because Pac12 athletes have been so oppressed and discriminated against.

The most privileged group on campus. GFY

Like we say, fuck off.

Tryon and Ty Jones are signed on.

I’m not sure what is worse, that list of demands or the fact the Pac-12 will actually try and give in and act on the non-Covid stuff.
No shocker Ty is on there...he hasn’t been all-in on football for a while. Tryon isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed and costing himself serious $$$ if he goes along with it. It’s too politically incorrect to tell these folks to pound sand, but it may help accelerate the decision to cancel the season for the Covid. -
I got no issue with trying to improve situations
I got no problem with saying that there are fundamentally broken issues within NCAA sports that need to be addressed
I’m also not sure I agree with any line of thought that is tied to players suggesting an education isn’t a form of compensation or any comments of systemic harm against AA athletes. Willing to be open to arguments to persuade me though. -
Is it bad I think the funniest part of this list is the demand to reinstate sports at Stanford who’s participants are largely from rich, white families (rowing...fencing...synchronized swimming...sailing...etc) in the name of social justice?

Seems none of them are familiar with Title IX
