Many coaches and people of leadership in college athletics have spoken out as unrest over racial injustice continues since the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley and many other assistant coaches for the Sooners have gone to Twitter to make their feelings and emotions of the current situation heard. Many players like safeties Justin Broiles and Chanse Sylvie have used their voices for activism for change.

Leadership, though, comes from the top down. Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione broke silence late Monday night after meeting with black players from the Sooners and Kansas State.
