The UCLA Bruins have come together to demand their health and safety is protected as they approach a return to campus, workouts and eventually practice.
In a document obtained by ESPN and first reported by the Los Angeles Times, 30 current players and one former player signed a document asking that third-party health officials are put in charge of overseeing and enforcing health and safety guidelines and that the guidelines are clearly and publicly stated.
The players are also asking for whistleblower protections provided for athletes and staff who want to report violations of any guidelines, as well as the ability to make decisions in regard to personal health without consequences in terms of loss of scholarship or retaliation from coaches in any form.
