But the opposition couldn’t overcome a well-organized and emotional push by Armenian-American groups to get the U.S. government to acknowledge the slaughter of 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Empire, the precursor to modern Turkey.

In a statement Lawrence tweeted out, he called for the support to “ultimately create a college football players association.” During a Zoom conference call with reporters Monday, Swinney was asked directly, “Would you supportive of a potential players association?” The Tigers coach responded, “Absolutely.” He went on to explain that there are already some programs in place, such as SAAC (Student-Athlete Advisory Committees).
