The meeting, ironically, ran long.
Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott was on the University of Washington campus Sunday afternoon to sit down with about 30 UW athletes for a discussion about their welfare in general and, specifically, about the increasing time demands that come with competing in a major-college sport.
There was, it turns out, a lot to do in a limited amount of time Sunday, which tends to be a theme for many college athletes. And that’s what Scott is trying to address on his “listening tour” to all 12 campuses in the Pac-12.
“We had budgeted 90 minutes for the meeting, and I think we ended up pushing two hours by the end of it,” UW gymnast Faith Morrison said.
