Football players from around the Mountain West joined together Thursday evening in a letter to the conference to voice concerns over playing a fall football season amidst the current COVID-19 pandemic.
The letter, which was shared on social media by several players in the Mountain West including Boise State safety Tyreque Jones, announced the formation of ‘Mountain West United’ while asking for assurances in regards to player safety, future eligibility and scholarships related to the modified 2020 fall football season.
“We, the athletes, do not feel safe enough participating in this upcoming season without reform,” the letter said.
