PULLMAN, Wash. — Leaders of Washington State University met Thursday with Pullman's police chief to discuss recent incidents involving Cougar football players, with both sides saying the meeting was productive.
Washington State President Kirk Schulz and Director of Athletics Bill Moos met with Chief Gary Jenkins in Schulz's office.
The meeting came two days after football Coach Mike Leach suggested his players were being unfairly targeted by law enforcement.
On Monday, police arrested one Washington State player on suspicion of assault, and recommended that assault charges be filed against another player in a separate incident.
Police are also investigating a large fight earlier in the summer allegedly involving multiple unnamed football players and students.
