Minnesota players' boycott could affect lead-up to Holiday Bowl

Minnesota football players announced Thursday night that they were boycotting all football activities in the wake of the suspensions this week of 10 teammates. The school suspended the players Tuesday after an internal investigation into a sexual assault case. Minnesota faces Washington State on Dec. 27 in the National Funding Holiday Bowl in San Diego. Holiday Bowl executive director Mark Neville said, "We are continuing to prepare for the National Funding Holiday Bowl on December 27; however, we are aware of the situation at the University of Minnesota and are monitoring it closely."
