Members of the University of Texas football team say they’ll refuse to participate in donor and recruiting events on behalf of the school until a list of demands is met to address alleged racial injustices.The players will, however, continue to practice and play in games.That said, participation in donor and recruiting events are a very important function for college athletes and the universities they attend and play for.The list of demands was posted to Twitter by at least two Texas football players, but according to reports, they were submitted on behalf of the entire squad.

Tell them to go home, and contemplate life w/o a college education. They might even benefit...

Give their scholarships to other players and let those new players shine.

A rather old-looking sophomore Brennan Eagles is apparently the instigator. No mention of his age anywhere.

Do these self-important twits actually think they are even needed in the grand scheme of things? They're as non essential as hollywood actors.

I say cut them but we all know that won't happen. More likely the entire coaching staff and athletic department comes in and washes their feet.

There's more where they came from. Scholarships cancelled immediately.

Darrell Royal said "Dance with the one that brung ya". Wisdom from one of the winning coaches at UT. You boys ought to pay attention.

Yank their full rides and give them to players that really want to get an education rather than be showcased as an NFL prospect.

This is uber-lie-beral UT!!! So expect them to fold on everything except "The Eyes of Texas".
But expect lyric changes to that to make it "woke".
I have been a UT fan for over 50 years. But if they don't tell these spoiled bullies to shove it, I will never watch another down of college football. I sure haven't missed the NFL in the least these last few years, so I'm pretty sure that skipping college games will be pretty darn easy too!!!

Texas is the only state where I can see the university backing the coaches and not the girly-men players. However, if this university does bend, then college football will suffer the same ugly fate as the NFL.

These boys can just wait until their Mom's get done with them over all this crap. Then Dad will take off his belt and take them to the woodshed.

The leverage these twits have is that the entertainment business of football makes a lot of CA$H for the university.
But..... if they insult the big-bucks alumni, there goes the Cash.
These petulant fools might ought to think about that a bit.
Of course, for many (but not all, of course) of these entertainers, thinking is not part of their mental cargo. They are there to make money for the University and try for a shot at becoming an entertainer at the National Felon's League, a big-money entertainment organization.
I would say to tell them "Learn to Code" but again, for many of them that is WAAAY beyond their abilities.
They might want to go back and learn how to Pick Cotton, as that is more along the lines of their ability.

Football is an extracurricular activity, and can easily be done away with. Perhaps they'll finally have more free time to do what one is supposed to do in college, like getting an education!!!

This is what happens when you award some teenage athlete 4 and 5 stars. They think they already ARE a star - entitled to have their WANTS met instantly and ad nauseum. Sit these down UT and tell them they will have to earn playing time - as of NOW they are 3rd string. Sure some will transfer but if you acquiesce your program will not recover. You will never be able to expect discipline.

Nice demonstration of how the term 'woke' really means intellectually comatose and morally bankrupt.

I demand equal representation in the face of the system racism of football. More fat white guys or I'm pulling my support.
