PAC-12 football player demands way out of line

now we have player demands.

A group of unnamed players from the PAC-12 (hiding behind their anonymity) has presented the National Collegiate Players Association with a list of demands. Not a wish list, but demands. A document called The Players Tribune includes expanded medical insurance for players, consistent COVID-19 safety standards monitored by an independent third party. They also want initiatives to address “racial injustice,” including special financial aid for Black players.

They also demand the freedom to earn money for use of their name, image, and likeness rights. On top of that they are asking that 50 percent of conference revenue be distributed to athletes.
