UC football alum: Tuberville-era players deserve 'some type of reparations'

A former University of Cincinnati football player says athletes who were coached by Tommy Tuberville deserve some kind of "reparations."

Zach Edwards, a Middletown High School grad who was named All-American Athletic Conference Honorable Mention in 2015 while playing safety at UC, tweeted about the Alabama senator Thursday.

Edwards quote-tweeted a Rolling Stone Politics article about Tuberville's recent comments regarding white nationalists in the United States military.

"Okay hear me out, there needs to be some type of reparations for those who had to play under this man," Edwards wrote.
