Grambling State's hiring of former Baylor coach Art Briles drew immediate blowback from the college football world. On Friday, the foundation for Grambling State head coach Hue Jackson released a public letter defending the decision, pledging to “support Coach Briles and all victims of assault, violence, social and racial injustices.”
"The Hue Jackson Foundation has been dedicated to fighting against ALL forms of sexual abuse and exploitation as well as other forms of racial and social bias," the statement read.
