Wisconsin-Eau Claire suspends five football players for using KKK image on Snapchat

Five football players at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire were suspended from the team and under investigation by the school Wednesday after screenshots of a racist conversation between them was circulated by students.



The first message in the Snapchat conversation refers to a meeting of BME, the university's Black Male Empowerment club, and includes a black-and-white photo of Ku Klux Klan members burning a cross.

"For all who can't make the BME meeting, (name of student) and I are holding WME tonight at 7," the message reads — presumably playing off the acronym, replacing black with white.

Another message referred to one of the football players as "the grand wizard."
