Eight Boston College men's basketball players have contracted E. coli after eating at a local Chipotle restaurant, according to SB Nation's BC Interruption blog, citing a Boston College coach with the report.

The College reportedly sent out a school-wide email warning students of an outbreak after numerous other students apparently contracted E. coli from eating at the Chipotle in Brighton's Cleveland Circle, a relatively short distance from campus. A previous email had been sent to several athletes with a similar message, according to BC blogger Michael Sullivan.

The chain Mexican restaurant has been under fire for weeks after an E. Coli outbreak in Oregon and Washington. Apparently, the company's problems have spread eastward.

The eight players' status for Wednesday's game versus No. 15 Providence is still in question,according to BC Interruption.
