Summary
What we're seeing as coaches and players are engaging in conversations of race and activism.

Then, we turn the spotlight to allegations of a racial slur at Clemson in 2017 (21:15), how Lincoln Riley and Tom Herman have offered more than a hashtag with their stance (31:00) and the Missouri football team adds voter registration to a demonstration to honor the life of George Floyd (41:15).

| 0:37.0 | It's not often that the first week of June is filled with headlines. |
| 0:41.0 | It's not often that there has been as many twists and turns at some of the top levels of college footballs, |
| 0:49.0 | what we have seen, but there is nothing about this week that is normal. |
| 0:53.0 | From the beginning, this is the start of players returning to campus. |
| 0:59.0 | And so before we get out of here, we want to talk about some of the reports of how the testing protocol is going across the country. |
| 1:06.0 | We will be getting to that. |
| 1:07.0 | But in the immediate future, we are also seeing the ways in which America is reflected within our college football program. |
