Statement from Tennessee Tech Director of Athletics Mark Wilson
"The recent and continued occurrences of racial and social injustice are heartbreaking. I am deeply saddened for our student-athletes, colleagues, friends and all people of color who have experienced repugnant and insensitive behavior based on their color of skin. I understand Tennessee Tech's student-athletes, staff and alumni of color are hurting and I fully commit to hear you and elevate your voice."
"We must honor and respect all backgrounds through a strong commitment to change. I am prayerful and hopeful that all of us together can commit to redefine the culture with trust and inclusion."
"We, as athletic leaders and student-athletes, need to stand up together and bring change for all people no matter their color or nationality."
