Players on Syracuse University's football team elected not practice Thursday afternoon after having concerns related to COVID-19, according to Stephen Bailey of Syracuse.com.
The players reportedly said they were comfortable with the school's rules, but are worried about safety measures at ACC schools, as well as Syracuse's lone non-conference opponent, Liberty. Players also reportedly held a series of team meetings Thursday with head coach Dino Babers and AD John Wildhack to discuss the matter.
The move by the Orange players come as players across college football are banding together to try and create action amid the coronavirus pandemic.
