Pac-12 football players show unity, list demands in letter to conference

A group of Pac-12 football players from multiple schools penned a letter in The Players' Tribune threatening to opt-out of fall camp and game participation unless their demands for fair treatment, safety regulations and concerns over racial justice for college athletes are met by the conference.

The letter is signed by Players of the Pac-12 and uses the hashtag #WeAreUnited to explain the group's concerns, saying "NCAA sports exploit college athletes physically, economically and academically, and also disproportionately harm Black college athletes, #WeAreUnited."

According to a source, one of the bigger issues the group wants to address is racial injustice, which is outlined in the letter.
