What's Your Opinion on Pac-12 Players' Demands and Threat to Opt-Out?
We want to know what your think.
A group of Pac-12 players have made a series of demands ranging from COVID-19 health concerns, to racial injustices to financial gain by players, among other things. They are threatening to opt-out of practices and games if their demands are not satisfied.
This promises to be a contentious, polarizing issue that is likely to produce passionate agruments on both sides.
Are players out of line for asking for more than a full scholarship to a college of their choice where they can play the game they love?
Are football players well within their rights to voice concerns about the health practices they are operating under as well as other issues, considering they play a game that brings in so much money for the coaches and schools?
Are the players taking a bold, brave step that can change the course of college football, or are they stepping out of line and endangering a big-time sport?
Should coaches be sympathic to the players' cause, or should they apply hard-line rules for participation?
And all these questions are being asked in the context of a world-wide pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement.
