Video: University Bans Christian Cross from Players’ Helmets

*Update: The University has reversed course and will allow the memorial crosses on players’ helmets after receiving pressure from a demand letter from our friends at Liberty Institute.

Texas Values president Jonathan Saenz debated the issue last night on FOX 7 (Austin):
