On Tuesday, Brigham Young University (BYU) announced that defensive lineman Corbin Kaufusi has been suspended indefinitely for unsportsmanlike conduct. The suspension comes after Kaufusi was ejected from the Cougars’ game against Boise State on October 19th for a personal foul penalty.
Kaufusi, a senior from Provo, Utah, had been a key contributor to the Cougars’ defense this season. He had started in all seven games and was second on the team with four sacks. He had also recorded 11 tackles, two pass breakups, and a forced fumble.
The incident that led to Kaufusi’s suspension occurred late in the fourth quarter of the game against Boise State. Kaufusi was flagged for a personal foul penalty after he hit a Boise State player late. After the penalty was called, Kaufusi was ejected from the game.
BYU head coach Kalani Sitake released a statement saying that Kaufusi’s behavior was unacceptable and that he had been suspended indefinitely. Sitake also said that Kaufusi had apologized for his actions and that the team would continue to support him.
Kaufusi’s suspension is a reminder that unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated in college football. It is important for players to remember that they are role models and should conduct themselves in a manner that reflects positively on their team and university.
Kaufusi’s suspension is a reminder to all players to respect the rules of the game and to always show good sportsmanship. It is important for players to remember that their actions on the field will have consequences and that they should always strive to be good role models for their peers.
