It's the nature and depth of the conversation that has marked the biggest change for Minnesota Golden Gophers wide receiver Rashod Bateman and his teammates.
Since the viral video of George Floyd's death began to circulate on Memorial Day, you'll find Bateman and Minnesota football players from a variety of backgrounds regularly sitting together just to talk.
"We have been doing a really good job of loving each other," Bateman said. "We've been sharing our stories."
The program's Black players have been encouraged by head coach P.J. Fleck to discuss their fears and concerns.
