On Sunday night, Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence, along with teammate and good friend Darien Rencher, got together with other players from every Power Five conference via Zoom and formed a coalition with the hopes of saving the 2020 college football season.
Rencher, a running back for the Tigers, tweeted the alliance shortly after midnight on Monday. The coalition has representatives from the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, SEC and Pac-12. The Pac-12 movement and the Big Ten United are also working in collaboration with the movement under the hashtags #WeAreUnited and #WeWantToPlay.
During a Zoom call with reporters Monday evening, Lawrence explained how the coalition came together and why they decided to act fast in creating the movement to play this season.
