Members of the LSU football team marched through campus today as the players say its time to stand up for racial justice.

Today, LSU football players gathered outside of Tiger Stadium and marched to the university president’s office where they spoke with interim president Thomas Galligan.

There are reports the Big 10 may start its football season around Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, LSU is four weeks away from its season opener against Mississippi State.
