Pac-12 players plan to boycott 2020 season; Will Alabama, SEC players follow suit?

An already eventful offseason just began to pen another chapter into the textbook of 2020, as the Pac-12 released a list of demands in the form an article in The Players’ Tribune detailing requirements that must be met or else the players will boycott the season.

The byline of the article read “Players of the Pac-12” but 12 members from the conference have identified themselves as those who threatened to boycott the season.

The piece itself summarizes the player’s requests regarding security for any impact of COVID-19, compensation on the player’s name image and likeness as well as assistance to end racial injustice in college sports and society.
