On Coach Rich Rod’s birthday, the Pac-12 CEO Group is comprised of the presidents and chancellors of Pac-12 universities. They got together and reviewed the Pac-12 report on student-athlete time demands while discussing changes starting in the 2016-17 season.
Student athletes chimed in on a listening tour. What is a listening tour you ask? Well, it’s when the ‘Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott visited all 12 universities and met with more than 250 student-athletes representing more than 30 sports.’
The athletes also listened to their Presidents and Chancellors’ as well who ‘stressed the importance of rebalancing time demands of student-athletes as part of the overall effort to modernize intercollegiate athletics’ The group covered a few themes of discussion for change which was heard loud and clear by the CEO Group.
