While others threaten to boycott, Lawrence says Tigers are ‘glad to be back’

Though there are players at other schools threatening to boycott the 2020 football season unless certain demands are made, at Clemson the players are glad to be back on the practice fields and preparing for a football season.

Last Sunday, more than 400 student-athletes from the Pac-12 sent a list of demands to the conference to be fixed or they will sit out the 2020-’21 academic year. Those demands ranged from better COVID-19 protocols, issues on the racial injustice front and players sharing revenue.

Some Big Ten athletes also sent a list of demands to the conference, but theirs were focused primarily on safety concerns with the pandemic and racial injustice issues.
