- Addressing the investigation, Belichick said he is "focused on ETSU" and maintaining team accountability, while players stated they are ignoring external headlines to prepare for Saturday's home opener at Kenan Stadium.
- With the university's investigation into compliance and potential corrective actions remaining active, Belichick, in the second year of a five-year, $50 million contract, stated he has an "ongoing relationship" with the university.
