NORMAL — A group of Illinois State student-athletes will hold an “Athletics March for Black Voices” on Friday.
The event will be begin at the north entrance to Redbird Arena. There will be speakers before the march is held.
Anyone in attendance is asked to wear a mask and practice social distancing.
The march stems from ISU student-athlete displeasure over an “All Redbird lives matter” remark made last week by director of athletics Larry Lyons.
As a result, some student-athletes have been boycotting team practices, meetings and workouts this week.
Coaches promoted: ISU football coach Brock Spack has announced new titles for four of his assistant coaches.
