The Florida State football team met with coach Mike Norvell on Thursday after a star player accused the coach of lying about personally connecting with each player to discuss the police killing of George Floyd and ensuing protests against racial injustice.
I want to tell you that coach just finished a closed team meeting with the football team, Coburn told the board.
On Thursday, some support for Norvell was turning up on social media from Florida State players.
Linebacker Kevon Glenn tweeted: We love our coach and we are together as a team.___AP freelance writer Bob Ferrante in Tallahassee, Florida, contributed to this report.
