Georgia Tech coach: Players needed team OK for protest

Posted Sep 24, 2013
Coach Paul Johnson said Monday Georgia Tech players who joined a show of solidarity for NCAA reform should have first given all players on the team a chance to vote on the idea. Johnson said coaches and most players had no idea quarterback Vad Lee, linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu and a few other players were carrying the letters APU — for All Players United — on wristbands in Saturday's 28-20 win over North Carolina. Johnson says he first learned of the message after the game. (USA Today)
