There is a story on ESPN about this. The story says it could include several 100 players. My guess, and it's only a guess, is that the removal of the COVID-19 waiver is what they really want.
?Prohibit Covid agreements waiving liability? hahahahahahhahaahahahahahahahah
PAC needs to double down and just cancel the season or let those that want to sit out do so. They want to split revenue, reduce staff salaries, and also carry no responsibility for anything. Riiiiiiiight.
If I ever have to negotiate for a job again my negotiation points will be:
1: all of the CEO’s and supervisors get salary cuts (why? Because yes)
2: all revenue generated by the company I get half of (even if I didn’t help earn it)
3: because I’ve decided to come work for you putting myself in a potentially dangerous situation I get to sue the company if I get hurt.
USC football makes just over 60 million a year
50% of that is 30 million.
30 million dollars/125 players= 240,000 a year
So basically a million dollars for playing four years.
Yeah, that's not going to happen.
Obviously the players putting this together are not economics or math majors!
At this point I say honor their scholarship but hold it until they play again. In other words, you can choose to opt out of playing football this year but you won’t receive scholarship money or assistance. If you decide to play again next year then you can start back up and your scholarship will be honored. That is no more/no less than what happens to national guard members when activated. Their job is held for them (by law) but they don’t continue to get paid by their employer while they are out of work for a year on orders.
Either that or the players that put this together need to start talking sense because they look like complete imbeciles right now.
Those demands are missing all the money in unmarked bills and a private jet fueled for a non-extradition country.**
Somebody please remind me what the Pac12 is again?
The free market solution is that these players want to be professionals and unionized. They think UCLA and USC alumni will stop watching USC on Saturdays to watch USFL or XFL type games. They think Wealthy USC alumni will forget school ties, traditions, bands, team colors and rivals to watch better gladiators on the field.
Or the free market solution could be that USC pay the players and just forget the whole “student” charade and scholarship charade just pay salaries. They can play other potential U-21 professional schools.Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Baylor, etc. without scholarships, there is no title IX impact and they are no longer NCAA. They would just be paid employees like the landscapers, maintenance, and parking attendants.

Talk about backfiring. Wonder if we interested.
I really want some admin guy to call their bluff and stand up to this ridiculousness! Enough is enough!
They have no idea what they're asking. 50% is hilarious.
This may help fill some of our holes on defense lol
