Kansas football coach Mark Mangino indefinitely suspended sophomore fullback Bruce Ringwood on Friday afternoon. Ringwood was arrested Aug. 21 for two counts of assault.

“I have suspended Bruce until we gather all the facts related to this incident,” Mangino said. “I’m disturbed that one of our players would be involved in something like this. 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.”

Ringwood allegedly punched a woman and her husband at a Kenny Chesney concert at Kemper Arena.

“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.”
