Missouri head coach Gary Pinkel tweeted a full team photo in support of his striking players.
The strike was originally started by the black members of the team in response to a series of racist incidents on campus and called for the removal of university president Tim Wolfe for his lack of response. Today, the entire team and coaching staff joined together in full support of the strike.

When asked if team pic means staff supports the boycott, Moller said "you saw the picture."

It’s quite the statement from the team, and now it’s up to the administration to respond.
