Pac-12 players list demands for 2020 football season, threaten to opt out

The “Players of the Pac-12” released a statement on The Players’ Tribune on Sunday that said they will opt out of the 2020 football season unless they form a written agreement with the Pac-12/NCAA that satisfies their list of demands.

Here is how they believe that can be accomplished:

  • Allow option not to play during the pandemic without losing athletics eligibility or spot on our team’s roster.
