Bevo’s Daily Roundup: Oklahoma State AD, president speak out on Hubbard, Gundy controversy

The college football world was set ablaze when Oklahoma State senior running back Chuba Hubbard – one of the nation’s top players – threatened to sit out over Cowboys head coach Mike Gundy’s apparent appreciation for the far-right TV network One America News.

We’re talking about the t-shirt Gundy was wearing in a photo, of course. See below.

In a statement on Monday, Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder responded, “This afternoon has been very disturbing, The tweets from the current and former players are of grave concern.”

Oklahoma State president Burns Hargis also released a statement. “I hear and respect the concerns expressed by our Black student-athletes,” Hargis said. “This is a time for unity of our purpose to confront racial inequities and injustice. We will not tolerate insensitive behavior by anyone at Oklahoma State.”

In other words, it seems like applied pressure by current and former players is winning.
