MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – A review by Middle Tennessee State University's human resources chief into Blue Raider Football's compliance with COVID-19 safety protocols found that Head Coach Rick Stockstill largely adhered to a plan "that considered the health and safety of the players and staff."
MTSU President Sidney A. McPhee directed the university's assistant vice president for human resources, Kathy Musselman, to examine the team's adherence to protocols after Tony Franklin, who resigned Jan. 1 as the team's offensive coordinator, made known his concerns about the team's measures to protect athletes from the coronavirus.
