The Big 12 Conference has suspended four players following Tuesday night's brawl near the end of the K-State - KU men's basketball game.
The Conference announced that from Kansas, Silivio De Sousa has been suspended 12 games and David McCormack 2 games. From K-State James Love has been suspended for 8 games and Antonio Gordon 3 games.
Both programs were reprimanded for violations of the Big 12 Sportsmanship Policies as a result of players leaving the bench area during the incident.
K-State issued a release confirming the suspensions announced by Commissioner Bob Bowlsby. Love's suspension will begin once he is medically cleared for competition, while Gordon's suspension will begin immediately. Until each of the student-athletes have served their suspension, they are immediately prohibited from traveling with the team to away competition, participating in pregame activities, and being in the team's bench area. However, each of the student-athlete may continue to practice and receive related support incidental to their participation as a student-athlete.
"We do not condone this type of behavior in any circumstance and fully support Commission Bowlsby's decision on this matter," K-State Athletics Director Gene Taylor said. "There is no place for this type of conduct in the game of basketball, or any sport, and in particular this great rivalry.
