Several of Oklahoma's student-athletes have joined classmates to protest the campus' chapter of a fraternity after a video showing the organization's members participating in a racist chant emerged.

The video obviously stirred anger from the Sooners' current football players as linebacker Eric Striker released a video expressing his feelings about the fraternity.

Prospective student-athletes appear to be equally upset, as four-star offensive tackle Jean Delance decommitted from Oklahoma this morning.

Delance, who holds offers from LSU, Texas and TCU among several others, tweeted the announcement citing "personal reasons."

7. If I was a star athlete, I'd choose a school in a Blue State. Like Oregon, Washington,

or California.

11. Stanford would be good, if you played football like this guy does

9. The university president really brought the hammer down on the racist frat

A Yale man, I might add.

12. Jean Delance should consider USC or UCLA.

Oklahoma needs to pay a stiff penalty for this vile absurdity.
