    Do the players in the non-revenue producing sports (which is pretty much everything outside of CFB and men's basketball) want 50% of the debt those sports produce?
    Everyone wants to be a beast...until its time to do what beasts do.

    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.

    LOL, seriously. This is kind of embarrassing by the players.

    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!

    These players probably think they are democrats but they are acting like republicans.

    Their proposal is crazy on so many levels.

    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.**

    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.

    For 4 years about $300,000 per player. Don’t forget all the 5 year players though

    Reminds me of when all those umpires sent in their resignations cause they thought they had leverage until mlb accepted them. Bunch of them never got their jobs back. Sometimes you just think you have the hammer lol
