A third former North Texas football player said Thursday that he will give a statement to the NAACP claming racial bias among the team's coaching staff at a meeting that was scheduled for Thursday but has been postponed.

Former Plano standout Gary Oubre played in two games this season before quitting the team two weeks ago.

"I think there is a racial issue with the team," said Oubre, a defensive back. "I don't think they can deal with black college athletes. That is why I didn't make an argument and just left the team. It was just an uncomfortable situation and not a healthy atmosphere."

Fellow defensive back Dominique Green filed a complaint with the NAACP on Monday after he was suspended for an incident on the sideline during the Mean Green's loss to Middle Tennessee on Saturday. Green said he was suspended for saying, "We are from the hood."

UNT head coach Todd Dodge disputed that claim, saying that Green was insubordinate to coaches and used inappropriate language. Sophomore defensive back Desmon Chatman, who was suspended earlier in the season, joined Green's complaint on Tuesday.

The NAACP was scheduled to meet with UNT players Thursday. NAACP official Ericka Cain did not return a message seeking comment on the meeting, but Green and Oubre said the organization had moved its visit back.

Oubre said that he never had a problem with Dodge, but struggled to get along with some of the other coaches on the staff. Dodge hired an entirely new staff after taking over the team in December from former head coach Darrell Dickey, who was fired late last season.

Dodge, the former head coach at Southlake Carroll, said Green and Chatman are still on scholarship at UNT. Oubre said he is also still on scholarship.

"I want it to be better for everyone else when they are there next year," Oubre said. "I want to get to the bottom of it now."

Dodge declined to comment Thursday through a UNT spokesman.

UNT athletic director Rick Villarreal said Tuesday that the university would investigate the players' claims. The UNT athletic department is providing information to UNT's administration, which is handling the investigation.

Oubre believes more players will come forward when the NAACP takes statements and as the investigation progresses. Cain said earlier in the week that the NAACP would try to mediate the dispute and would take the players' claims to the university's administration if it found they had merit.

"Once this gets going and guys feel like they can come forward, more will," Oubre said. "When I saw that these guys were serious, I thought that I should speak up."

Villarreal expressed confidence Thursday that his coaches will be absolved of any wrongdoing.

"When I hired Todd, I believed in the things he believes in," Villarreal said. "I will await the conclusion of this investigation."
