We hold all of our EKU students to very high standards and those who violate these codes of conduct are held accountable.
Given the actions of these student-athletes, these players have been suspended from the EKU Football roster. Their future at the University will be determined pending the decision by personnel within our Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities. This type of behavior will not be tolerated.
From this point forward, this is an internal student judicial issue and the University plans to make no further comment. “

That's too bad. From how his teammates reacted, it seems like the Kentucky bro had it coming

Kentucky's players should have been suspended for not backing up their quarterback.

Damn shame they waited until it leaked to actually do something about it.

No kidding ... I still don't quite understand how that went-down without his buds backing-him-up.
Unless the KY players were skerred of that big black kid or something? I mean he did pull off his sweatshirt first to show them all what they were in fer if they resisted.
I'm just glad the Ky players didn't have any white women with them or he would have had his way with them as well I'd imagine.

Supposedly only one of those other guys in the video was a Kentucky football player and team mate.
The rest were EKu players.

One of the UK football players was the same guy that blind sided the LSU linebacker. He was a tough guy then when the guy He hit wasn't looking. they might of got the hell beat out of them but at least start swinging when you see your own guy laying on the floor unconscious.

Except that it's not. If the cops are involved, it becomes a state issue.

The sucker punch occurred at a women's dorm on EKU's campus. Barker, Baker and Dubose, the three UK players involved in the bar fight, were walking a woman, an EKU student, back to the dorm from Jerzee's, the site of the altercation with the EKU football players.
Only Patrick Grafree, an EKU football player, was identified other than the three UK players in the video that was taken in the dorm. He and other EKU players have been suspended from the team and EKU will determine their futures at the school soon.
Neither Madison County or EKU police are charging anybody with anything. EKU will deal with their players and UK will not take disciplinary action against Barker, Baker and Dubose because they were exonerated of any wrong doing. I'm glad it's over.
The Oct. 3 game between UK and EKU in Lexington promises to be a wild affair.

Let's not let facts get in the way of a joke, okay?

The guy who sucker punched Barker (and the only one who seemed to be causing any sort of problem) ran away, just in case you didn't notice.
