The Star Tribune’s Joe Christensen is reporting that the Minnesota Golden Gopher football team boycotted today’s practice and held a players-only meeting, where they decided to boycott the Holiday Bowl in protest of 10 players being suspended.
After coming to their decision, the players reportedly brought in head football coach Tracy Claeys to inform him of their intentions. The players are expected to meet with media members tonight to announce their plans and state the conditions the university would need to meet in order to avoid a boycott of the Holiday Bowl.
This comes after several Gopher football players sent out Tweets earlier today using the hashtag #WeHadEnough, expressing their displeasure with the university’s decision to indefinitely suspend 10 of their teammates.
