Pac-12 players, led by some at Cal, are threatening to boycott the football season. Why? Sure, they want more Covid testing, but they're also demanding a 50/50 revenue share and 6 years of health insurance after they're done playing football.

50% revenue share is a non-starter. 

A percentage of profit sharing maybe, but it wouldn't be 50%, because that money funds the entire AD at most schools. I don't think the football program at Cal runs a profit, and it definitely won't once they start paying interest on that stadium loan.

Perhaps the Cal Admins can counter-offer a 50/50 profit-loss sharing scheme... What will be revealed when all is said and done is that all but about 500-1000 NCAA D1 athletes are money losers. For every Katie Ledecky there are hundreds who cost their university more than they bring in. COVID is going to lay that bare very rapidly.
