Head coach Chris Klieman released a statement:
“I am extremely disappointed in the poor choices made recently by some of our student-athletes,” Klieman said. “We have high expectations within our program, and when those expectations are not met, there are consequences. The high standards and expectations within our football program will not change, and the character and integrity of the players on our team will not be compromised.”
