In an unprecedented step within college athletics, a substantial group of Pac-12 athletes have come together and put forth a list of demands that must be met in order for them to not boycott the 2020 season. The complete list was published this morning in The Players’ Tribune. Several of the players driving the movement also spoke with Sports Illustrated.
The first section is about COVID-19 and includes the ability to opt-out of the season for pandemic-related reasons without scholarship, a clause that essentially all pro leagues have adopted in their restarts. It also lists prohibiting waivers that excuse the school of any COVID-19 liability and for safety standards coming from a 3rd party be instituted and approved of by the players.
