Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott views student-athlete welfare as one of the top priorities of the conference, and he made his first stop Wednesday in the latest effort to improve in that area.

Scott held a 90-minute meeting with student-athletes and administrators at Colorado on Wednesday to discuss the time demands placed on athletes.

He will hold similar meetings at the other 11 Pac-12 schools over the next several weeks.

"The big priority now is really focusing on time demands and making sure all of our student-athletes have the ability to fully engage in the opportunities available to them academically, socially, otherwise," Scott said.
