While professional football, baseball, and basketball players have been opting out of their upcoming seasons by the dozens, less has been heard from the nationâs collegiate athletes.
Well, thatâs beginning to change.
According to a report obtained by ESPN, a group of players from several different Pac-12 schools have threatened to sit out preseason and regular season games unless the Pac-12 makes certain concessions. In a text message from the group, the aim is to âobtain a written contract with the Pac-12 that legally ensures we are offered the following protections and benefits.â

If they don't play, how can they be scouted by the pro teams?

Very simple solutionâ since there wonât be any football if they strike, revoke their football âscholarshipsâ. Then where will goâto the streets with peaceful protesters? Go for it guys!

Anyone else count how many times the PAC-12 Conference said "student athletes" in their response to these players?

This shows how far down things are going. No football player would have dreamed of any thing close to this when Woody Hayes (Ohio State) or Paul "Bear" Bryant (Alabama) were in charge. If any player on Bryant's team who would have been insane enough to show disrespect on the field might not make it back to the locker room in one piece.

When jerks threaten, O.K. them. In other words you're not going to play unless you're demands are met, O.K. don't play.

The the players a choice play and do as I say (the coach) or kick them off the team. The play with the team you have. Mike Gundy should have done that at Oklahoma State U. But, no, he folded like a cheap suit. He lost what l little respect I had for him. He should be let go anyway because his teams just can't get done in the big games.

Let the NFL set up training academies and get the colleges out of the football business. I never thought I'd say that but with kids getting into the NFL draft earlier and earlier, why even pretend they are in college for an education? There are some with brains to go with their brawn, but such young men are few and far between.

QUIT! Don't like the terms and the conditions they're handed? Then they should leave and concentrate on graduating...., if they can still read.

Your compensation is a free college education at well funded schools offering almost every field of study one could imagine. If you spend those years studying useless subjects betting on a pro career that most likely won't happen, then you have nobody but yourself to blame for your life's outcome.

If they don't play football, does that mean we can stop pretending they are students?

I hope the sports team all sit this year out. I am not interested in their views, the seasons have been shortened or adjusted, some players not playing, the games in empty stadiums. Why would anyone care to watch arena sports before no fans? By the way, players, it does not hurt me, if you sit on your couches, and make no money.

Nobody cares. Just cancel the scholarships and let these idiots know that being stupid has consequences.
Aren't we all getting tired of being threatened by athletes who are lucky enough to get rich playing ball and get scholarships for the same?
Play ball or lose that scholarship. it's just that simple.

My kid plays at the college level and really really wants to play her final year. Playing at the collegiate level is a choice. Less than 3% of college students play sport. Feel free to join the other 97%.

Don't want to play? Pay your tuition, room & board and spending money from your own pockets. How's that for a deal?

Doing away with sports this season at the Pac 12 school where I have season tickets for several sports is OK with me this season. I just got an e-mail that they will only be using a mobile-model for ticket delivery this year They say it will be safer for everyone. I suspect itâs really because it will be cheaper for them. Iâd really prefer the tickets as I donât use my phone for things like that and I suspect there are a lot of others (old people like me) who donât either. Should get interesting.

When a student "demands" anything, he or she should immediately be expelled from the college with no chance to ever return.
Until the college presidents grow some cajones, this is only going to get worse and worse!!!

Very simple fix. Revoke their scholarships and return to sports played by student-athletes. Let these crybabies find jobs in the pros, whose numbers are crashing due to social activism.

Just go away, punks.
We are tiring of your BS. If you want to play your games and shut the heck up, SOME might watch. Generally, most folks are just sick of your stupid mouths.

They want "fair compensation". I thought a free education and a chance to audition for the NFL was the "fair compensation".
