Utah State Cancels Game After Players Raise Concerns

Jason Scott Headshot

Utah State University canceled its football game against Colorado State scheduled for Saturday, when USU football players decided to protest following comments made by university President Noelle Cockett earlier in the week. 

According to Stadium, Cockett expressed “concerns about interim head coach Frank Maile’s religious and cultural background.” Maile is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The comments were made Tuesday in a Zoom call. Afterwards, players were reportedly “dumbfounded,” leading a player conducted an anonymous, players-only survey asking teammates whether they had concerns regarding what they heard during the call.
