Pac 10 players list demands
 

This should be good.

Hand in your scholarships and enjoy your career at McDonald’s

:facepalm:

Exactly. Don't let the door hit you in the ass either.:thumb:

Wouldn't take me long to say "adios" to said players.

So they are racists and they want to be able to sue if they get Covid. Got it.

Always love college athletes who say they get nothing.


Food?
Housing?
Education?
Tutoring?
Fame?
Adoration?

Sure-most of you will not go pro. Deal with it.

My daughter was on a college dance team. Since the dance team is a "club" it is not part of the athletics program. They perform at games, are on the field/court. Students have to pay for uniforms etc. Students have 3 hours of practice a night AND 3 times a week have 5:30 am workouts. They compete on a national level and students have to pay for room/board/travel for the competition to Disney.

They were NOT allowed access to athletic facilities, health, food. They practiced off campus. Sometimes they practiced at another campus. When they won a trophy-they were NOT allowed to display it on campus.

I do not feel sorry for some of these athletes making these demands. Not even getting started on the SJW aspect.

What a bunch of entitled ****s.

Just call the season

:rolleyes:

Kind of a weird time to make these demands given the season might be cancelled anyway and it's an asterisk season anyway. It should be pretty easy to tell them to **** off.

And you guys thought the millennials were the most entitled generation.

Hoo boy.

:thumb: :clap: :thumb:

Title 9 will have a field day with this one.

Good luck in the real world. What a joke...

What's wrong with their demands? /cp dumb****s

Maybe this will end college athletics. I'd be on board for that.

Pac 12 kids think they have leverage? That league could fold tonight and no one would care

They're going to piss around here and cause the doors to be slammed shut on a multitude of kids trying to get out of the poverty cycle. They are going to ruin a bunch of lives.

The athletics situation right now is not perfect, on either side, but it is the best we have.

Pull their athletic scholarships and force them to pay regular tuition and re-apply to get into their school without the benefit of an “exploitative” athletic scholarship... good luck.

Well, Financial Aid has rigorous academic standards, and without sportsballs scholarships, ain't no one going to class for them, so...

SEE YA!

the Pac-10 conference still exists?

This is ****ing awesome. After all the bullshit where the liberal school leadership gave into the student body, and the OAN thing, who could have seen THIS coming. LMAO

I'm not sure this is a good year to pull this BS, perhaps it's a great year, but it's fun to watch...

I can understand wanting safety precautions in place and for the school to be responsible for all medical costs associated with those precautions...but this list of demands is beyond crazy.

Yeah, college athletics is a real oddity of our society. Why are colleges serving as the farm teams for pros? Why are colleges using athletics as a fundraiser when the most successful of them do so at a significant cost to their academic reputations? Go back to concentrating on academics and let's not even have athletics associated with college.

The main thing that I have a problem with with NCAA sports is being prevented to make money off of your talent and fame that you earned yourself. If a company wanted to endorse a college athlete and use them in a commercial or something like that, there's no valid reason why that player should be banned from accepting it. The overwhelming majority of these athletes only have 4 years that their talent is worth anything.

Black athletes are disproportionately given a free top of the line education...and...this is...bad for black athletes?

well bye

Only reason I watch the pac 12 is because its on late af on saturday nights since it's on west coast time. Don't really give a donkey about them. SEC owns that space

Dalla signs....

/thread. **** ‘em. I’ll enjoy college ball as much, if not more, without them.

Yup. Good riddance.

Go get your ‘free ride’ somewhere else (if you can).

Most of us have to go into debt to pay for a 4 year college education.


PAC-12 needs to tell everyone of them to **** off. If they don’t like it, they can transfer elsewhere.

WSU just told guys promoting this to clean out their lockers. Welcome to the real world fellas.

I fully expect all of these demands to be met. This is the PAC 12 after all. Most of these universities are located in bastions of far left ideologies such as Berkeley, Eugene, Seattle, Boulder etc......The schools will give in to avoid being called out by their far left base.

Good. **** em.

Thats not the NCAAs fault. Who enacts rules to discriminate based on age? It's not the NCAA. The NBA created the one year in college or outside of HS rule to help minimize risk on young talent and the busts that can cripple a franchise. They enacted this rule to gain certainty.

The NFL requires 3 years outside of HS before you can go. These rules are discriminatory and not on the NCAA.

It's still a choice to accept a scholarship, room, board, plus the stipend they get in exchange for playing the sport. Its an offer and if you accept it you abide by the rules of the scholarship. Nobody is making you go to college. Dont want to go? Dont have to go.

Is that still Leach?

It's a perfect time to pull this because all the private sector businesses are cowardly giving in to PC crap and the schools birth this stuff and these student athletes the majority of them are minority with a Civil Rights Lawyer I assure you and they are just in line to get their due. The athletic dept. in no way will stand up to this because the school won't let them especially since Covid rules the day.

No..New guy so he has no ties to the players and has some rope for a bit.

These guys may find out that only 5-10% of them actually have any market value, especially at a time when revenues are plummeting. The P12 was barely staying afloat as it was before Covid.

don't worry.....when they end up working at McDonalds or some other job that's not meant to sustain a career; are in a low income bracket, and their lives generally suck...it'll be someone else's fault for oppressing them.


hilarious WSU called their all in bluff then the players were holding a Jack - Two off suit.

BYe.

Too bad they'll be to stupid to treat this as a learning experience...pick your battles and be prepared to live with the consequences (which they aren't)

The players listing demands will be the same ones partying and going to bars.

ROFL

Honestly, I think they know that 95%+ of them "won't go pro" (as that one NCAA commercial suggested a couple years back), so I think this, for that group who realize they probably won't go pro and know they're not really smart, is to try and create a nest-egg of sorts while they're in college. I think a huge percentage of them know they'll probably fail at being anything more than a gym coach because they're there to play a game, and few of them take the academic side seriously.

EDIT: Plus, the colleges are making huge bank on their backs, a hell of a lot more than room and board and a few classes (that they probably don't attend anyway), so they want a cut of those huge contracts the schools are getting.

It's ok. They can just take their $150K opt out money...

Perhaps they (the schools) should socialize the notion that they're considering moving scholarships to sports where there's no, or little, "Pro" option for graduates. That might leave the kids coming into the programs with a bit of a different outlook on their education and perhaps change their opinions about a lot of things. Limit football, baseball, and basketball to students who can find a way to pay for their college and you might find that you're dealing with better people instead of people who can't read, write, spell, and come in with a victim's mentality.

I'd love to see it just for the fact it would be a really hard reset for players like the one in the OP.
Of cour$e there are many million$ of rea$ons why it won't happen.

Wouldn't it be great to watch football and basketball (nobody watches college baseball) played by students largely made of of kids who could get accepted to a college who didn't neglect their studies for the prior ~12 years?

Stopped giving a shit at "concerns over racial justice".

FYP

Don't you know that they pay the white athletes more?

Or is it that there is a disproportionate amount of white players on college sports scholarships?

Yes Nick! Stand up to these idiots.
