Kansas State Football Players Call off Boycott After School Releases Action Plan

Kansas State football players announced Friday they've called off a boycott after the school laid out plans to address their diversity concerns.

Sophomore wide receiver Phillip Brooks posted the players' statement on Twitter:

In June, K-State's Black student-athletes released a joint statement saying they wouldn't participate in any games, practices or other athletic department events until their concerns were handled.

Christianna Carr, a guard on the women's basketball team, was among those to post the original announcement:

It's unclear whether the school's other teams are also ending their plans to boycott.
