Kansas football coach Mark Mangino has suspended sophomore fullback Bruce Ringwood from the team indefinitely.
Ringwood is accused of assaulting a Kansas City-area husband and wife at a Kenny Chesney concert in Kemper Arena last Sunday. The Kansas City Star. reported yesterday that Ringwood had been charged by Jackson County authorities in the matter.
“I'm disturbed that one of our players would be involved in something like this," Mangino said. "We have high standards of conduct that we expect from our student-athletes. This behavior goes against everything we stand for at the University of Kansas.”
Mangino said the suspension would last until "we gather all the facts."
Ringwood apologized for his actions in a statement released by the Athletics Department.
“I would like to apologize to my teammates, coaches and my university for my involvement in this incident," Ringwood said. "I regret that it happened, and my focus now is on doing everything I can do to be a good student and a good football player.”
