Five members of an NCAA Division III football team were suspended after a screenshot of a racist Snapchat conversation surfaced.

The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire football team is also under investigation stemming from the message, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. The first message referenced a BME or Black Male Empowerment meeting and a picture of KKK 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 read, with WME written to mean White Male Empowerment.

According to the Journal-Sentinel, a second message referred to a player as “the great wizard.”

“Blugolds, today a thread of racist messages that included a photograph of a burning cross was used to target members of the @BMEMPOWERMENT group,” school chancellor Jim C. Schmidt wrote in a tweet Monday. “Our campus will not tolerate this racist action. I have asked the Dean of Students Office to investigate and take appropriate action.”

The players were not identified.
