Pac-12 considering making Election Day a mandatory off-day
James Snook-USA TODAY Sports It all started with a tweet from a college basketball assistant coach one week ago. Now, his call to empower student-athletes is picking up steam.
Last week, Georgia Tech assistant Eric Reveno took to Twitter with one simple idea to help student-athletes be a part of a growing trend calling for world-wide change: make federal Election Day on November 3rd a mandatory off-day.
Georgia Tech has since announced that they will not hold practice on Election Day, and the idea was picked up by multiple coaches and figures in college sports. Gonzaga’s Mark Few quickly reacted, saying he would also cancel activities on November 3rd.
