These conferences should be in a separate division anyway.

According to its most recent NCAA financial report in 2019, the men's soccer program had operating losses of $726,498.

Which isn't unusual. Football makes the money and keeps everyone else afloat.

I mean, isn't that the NCAA motto? "Hey kids, we got our money, go fuck yourselves?"

Big 10 players form a group and have a list of "demands". Their list is very reasonable compared to the Pac 12's

Among the Big Ten players' demands:


Third-party, approved by players, to administer COVID testing and to enforce all COVID-19 health and safety standards

Sufficient penalties for noncompliance. * Mandate for athletics personnel to report suspected violations.

Whistleblower protections for athletics personnel and college athletes reporting a suspected violation.

Ban the use of COVID-19 liability waivers.

Automatic medical redshirt for any player who misses any competitions due to a positive test or a mandatory quarantine due to contact tracing.

Preserve athletic eligibility, scholarship, and roster spot for any player who opts out of athletic participation or is unable to play more than 40% of their scheduled season due to COVID-19 or season postponement/cancellation.

Coverage for all out-of-pocket medical expenses related to COVID-19 (both short-term and long-term) incurred by active college athletes.
