The main demand is reasonably about Covid. it's after that which causes issues:
The group is asking the Pac-12 to distribute 50% of each sport's conference revenue evenly among athletes in their respective sports, to give six-year athletic scholarships and for the ability to transfer one time with impunity.
Huma said the players are aware that if the Pac-12 met their demands that the conference would not be eligible to participate in NCAA-sanctioned competitions or championships.
"Right now, it's clear that the conferences don't need the NCAA. Each conference is an industry unto itself," Huma said. "[The players are saying,] 'We're fine if our conference doesn't belong to the NCAA at all. We need to be treated fairly.'"
Getting kicked out of the NCAA is not a reasonable demand.
