During Wednesday night’s men’s basketball game between Pitt and Michigan, at least one player from each team will play with the letter “S” written on their hand.
The “S” stands for “share,” which is short for “revenue share,” which is something a group of college athletes believe they deserve. That group includes Michigan All-American center Hunter Dickinson, who will be wearing the “S” during the game against the Panthers.
“We deserve the same freedoms and protections under the law as other Americans,” Dickson said in a statement. “We need the U.S. Department of Justice to eliminate NCAA compensation restrictions that rob thousands of college athletes of what would be the most valuable years of our lives.
