The team boycotted its most recent game against Jackson State in Florida this weekend. Student journalists tweeted photos of the yucky conditions the athletes face. Now, according to sports reporters on Twitter, the administration is punishing…the students.
Student journalists suspended and fired at #Grambling over tweets of photos of mold at fball complex. Umm.. what? This just got ridiculous

Sunlight — and Tilex — are the best disinfectants.
Fire that president yesterday RT @newyscruggs Grambling St suspended student journos for tweeting photos of mold at the athletic complex.

If Grambling reinstates those student journalists, I'll send them a bottle of Tilex for their mold issue.
