[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 734140, member: 1776"] Mountain West players are the latest to band together [URL unfurl="true"]https://sports.yahoo.com/mountain-west-athletes-release-list-of-demands-conference-says-issues-have-already-been-addressed-040202593.html[/URL] Typical list of demands at this point. mandatory testing, extensive cleaning of facilities, no liability waivers, medical coverage, no penalty for sitting out, whistleblower protections. Also, PAC12 players had their first meeting with league officials last night. Described as 'productive' [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.si.com/college/2020/08/07/pac-12-we-are-united-call-player-boycott[/URL] What has become clear to me this week is that the level of unease among SA's is higher than we thought. Also, based on the demands that have been made by the various groups - including testing being done by third parties, no liability waivers, whistleblower protections, no penalties for sitting out - it is also clear that a good number of SA's do not inherently trust the coaches and administrators to make decisions with the SA's best interest at heart (especially in terms of health decisions). I expect that all the P5 conferences are going to have to adjust up to the SEC protocols if they expect to play this year. It is also looking like FCS will move to the spring. Both the Big Sky and Pioneer announced they are cancelling fall football and Missouri Valley is expected to join them next week - that would put the FCS below the 50% min needed to stage a fall championships. It sounds like the FCS conferences have been talking to each other and are leaning to waiting until spring and then trying to play then if the health situation allows.
