Pac-12 Players 'Deeply Concerned' by Larry Scott's Return-to-Play Policies

The initial meeting between Pac-12 players and conference commissioner Larry Scott reportedly didn't ease any of the concerns players had about playing sports this fall.

Per ESPN's Kyle Bonagura, a letter signed by 18 Pac-12 athletes sent to Scott said they were "left disappointed and deeply concerned that you are not taking this matter seriously" after the two sides met on Thursday.

The meeting was organized after a group of Pac-12 athletes wrote an article for the Players Tribune that published on Aug. 2.

The article included a list of demands in order to play sports in the fall, including health and safety protocols amid the coronavirus pandemic, support of the fight to end racial injustice throughout sports and society, healthcare coverage for sports-related medical conditions and a 50-50 revenue split.
