Student protests over the way leaders of the University of Missouri have responded to racial incidents escalated dramatically over the weekend when 32 black football players announced they will not participate in team activities until the president is removed. The Tigers' next game is Saturday, against BYU in Kansas City. The players' statement, issued Saturday night, aligns them with campus groups, including one called Concerned Student 1950, that have been protesting the way President Tim Wolfe has handled matters of race and discrimination on the overwhelmingly white, 35,000-student campus.
