As the power conferences continued to push forward with hopes of holding a college football season amid a global pandemic, players from the Pac-12 Conference went public with a threat to boycott the season if certain demands were not met.
In an article entry with The Players’ Tribune, “Players of the Pac-12” urged the conference to take specific action in the interest of player safety, social and racial justice and protecting player scholarships.
That core message seemed to have the backing of college football’s biggest star as well.
Commenting on a tweet from Washington cornerback Elijah Molden, Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence endorsed the Pac-12 players’ push for fair treatment.
In Molden’s original tweet, he noted that there were components of the Pac-12 players’ demands that he didn’t necessarily agree with (though he didn’t go into specifics). But the primary point of college athletes using their voices to challenge an exploitive system was something Molden supported.
And it sounded like Lawrence was in agreement there.
