Lol 😂 wtf.... have these PAC-12 players lost their minds?

They should all be ashamed. Also, they want to get rid of liability waivers.... why so they can sue the college for all they have? Like wtf....

In fairness the PAC-12 should do what the SEC did and honor scholarships of individuals who don’t want to play.

Our Fall decorating tradition is putting myself on the couch each Saturday and littering the house with beer cans. It gives the place that lovely aroma of stale beer.

"Because NCAA sports exploit college athletes physically, economically and academically, and also disproportionately harm Black college athletes, #WeAreUnited."

Exploit them academically with that free education? Exploit them economically with that free room and board and personal/athletic development. And how in the hell are black athletes disproportionately harmed?

This one made lol: Distribute 50% of each sport’s total conference revenue evenly among athletes in their respective sports

Show me a single program that has a 50% profit margin to swing that. Nowhere even close.

And if they instead go by year-end profits, don't a bunch of "respective sports" run on deficits and get supported by football and basketball? Are swimming and tennis players supposed to make up their sport's deficit? Financial loss is usually the downside risk when you become an equity partner.

If they keep having football and basketball support the other 10, 20, 30 sports, how long before the football, basketball, baseball players decide that isn't fair and equitable? They earned the lion's share after all. Cut everything but the big 3 or 4. I don't know, this is deep into the rabbit hole, but it could happen.

Before you call me a bitch or try to look like a badass for drinking straight Everclear or jet fuel or whatever, hear me out. Set your masculinity aside and give the PBR hard coffee a try. It’s legit good and is as close to 4Lokos as it’s gonna get. Even if it gets warm, it’s still good. Couldn’t find any in Nashville so I went to Frugal Macdougall’s and bought their whole stock

Turned the big 61 today. Inching ever so close to retirement.

I retired for about six months and almost went crazy. Went back to work for a while and positioned it into a part time gig where I can do 95% on line. That lets me be mobile. Have a plan to keep you mind and body busy, even if it is nothing but charity work. I firmly believe staying productive in some way will help you live longer.

Mainly football. Only about 50% of D1 schools generate enough revenue to even cover the costs, much less show a profit. Take football away, and most schools will have to shutdown all sports.

I could not imagine throwing away an opportunity to play college football like these PAC12 atheletes. There has to be some furious players on the teams

More opportunities for them. I heard this is maaybe 100 athletes. Out of how many in the Pac where they play like 30 sports? Probably 3, 4, 5k total?

Benchwarmers and walkons are licking their lips.

Granted, yeah if it's your star QB ready to sit out and you're a WR, yeah you're pissed.
