Article here. Excerpt:

'Minnesota seniors Drew Wolitarsky and Mitch Leidner spoke to the media, announcing the Gophers would “cease all football activities.” The boycott stems from 10 players being suspended following a university investigation into a sexual assault report.

University president Eric W. Kaler and athletic director, who were both called out by the players, released a statement after the boycott was announced.

Claeys wasn’t the only coach to voice his support for the players. Linebackers coach Mike Sherels did as well.'

This is great news! If only more men would stand up for each other in a show of solidarity like this.

The only way the Title IX beast will ever be defeated is by starving the colleges of their funding whenever they violate students' rights. As I understand it, athletics, namely football, brings in a considerable portion of the university's money. This team has the university right where they want them! Your move, college admins.

I didn't realize that the boycott ended so quickly when I posted my previous message. That's very disappointing to say the least.
