Sports briefly: Iowa Hawkeyes football program agrees to separation agreement with strength coach Chris Doyle

Iowa cut ties with strength coach Chris Doyle, announcing a separation agreement that will pay him more than $1.1 million after former Hawkeyes accused him of mistreating and belittling black players.

The school announced the move before a news conference by athletic director Gary Barta, who released a statement wishing Doyle well. The university also said a law firm will conduct an independent review of allegations relating to racial disparities in the program.

• Star Oklahoma State running back Chuba Hubbard suggested he might boycott the program after coach Mike Gundy was photographed wearing a T-shirt displaying the One America News Network, a far-right news channel that has been praised by President Donald Trump.

Gundy is seen in a photograph on Twitter wearing the shirt with the letters OAN. In a tweet responding to the photo, Hubbard said: "I will not stand for this. This is completely insensitive to everything going on in society, and it's unacceptable. I will not be doing anything with Oklahoma State until things CHANGE."

Several current and former OSU athletes responded to Hubbard's tweet with support. Current linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga declared "I stand with him!" while former Cowboys running back Justice Hill, now with the Baltimore Ravens, tweeted: "OSU Athletics and University need major change. 100% support brotha."
