This is what they're laying out and demanding if this season is too be played. They mention they're going to try and get players from other conferences to join.

This season may already be dead in the water.

Pretty sure it’s been decided they can opt out without losing their schollies already, whatever those schollies will be worth in this academic year.*

“The Players Tribune” seems to be a blog founded by Derek Jeter. I don’t know under what authority they claim to speak for “The Players of the Pac 12,” whatever that’s supposed to be.

There doesn’t seem to be a real organization of that name.

In this article ESPN it refers to them as a group.

Don’t know if every Pac-12 player would claim the group speaks for them - a lot of the shit seems to be shit that has nothing to do with player safety in the Covid era.

*Yes, that’s included in the Pac 12 response that appears in the ESPN article I linked to.

I saw that article. I would love to see how many players are actually behind it. For all we know it could be only a handful of athletes that put it together.

The Oregonian refers to “Pac - 12 Football Unity” as “a contingent of Pac - 12 players.”

The Oregonian refers to ?Pac - 12 Football Unity? as ?a contingent of Pac - 12 players.?

I wonder if it's a large contingent or a small contingent??

I wonder if it's a large contingent or a small contingent??

I wonder what ?large? and ?small? would even mean?

And it also says that from ?multiple schools.? What does that mean? Two schools? All of the schools?

Are they all scholarship athletes or are some of them walk ons? Because the size of the two pools is significantly different.

The football players looking to band together for their own mutual benefit are good human beings.

The coaches and administrators opposing those efforts are not.

They don't claim to speak for the PAC-12 players. The Players Tribune is a site where the players write their own stories, so there are no "writers" for The Players Tribune.

This lists the players. They claim they are speaking for hundreds of players in the PAC-12.

Well, there you go TomDalton22. It?s apparently a contingency of twelve from nine schools out of fourteen.

Maybe they should release a calendar. The bar you need to clear for the "X of Y" monkier is lower.


This is Crack Baby Basketball + Covid. Covid changes things.

I saw a mention of a 400 member group text. Kids must be using software I'm not or they are using the word text to describe some other messaging app.


edit: There's a text managing app out there called GroupMe that allows groups of 1,000. No thank you.

GroupMe is great, but I'd never use it for a group that insanely large. None of my groups are over three people.

My buddy loves using it for the kids he coaches in Indy. Makes it really convenient to quickly get a message to the entire team and staff.
