Grambling Football Players Refuse To Travel To Jackson State After Practice Boycott
Posted in: Today's ChiliJACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Grambling’s proud football program descended into further chaos Friday when the school canceled Saturday’s game against Jackson State after disgruntled players refused to travel to Jackson.
Jackson State officials announced the cancellation Friday night. Athletic department spokesman Wesley Peterson told The Associated Press that Grambling officials contacted Jackson State to inform them of the decision.
Grambling spokesman Will Sutton said late Friday that the Southwestern Athletic Conference has labeled the game as a “no contest” and that university officials would have no further comment. He said players will not be available for interviews.
