NCAA Suspends Player for Taunting Post
4 Jan
Summary
- Player suspended one game after taunting opponent online.
- Player also required to attend gun violence awareness course.
- Nebraska team faces Ohio State without suspended player.
A college basketball player has been suspended for one game by the NCAA for a social media post directed at an opposing player. Braden Frager of the Nebraska Cornhuskers received the suspension after taunting Michigan State's Jeremy Fears Jr. via Instagram following a game. Frager's post, which included the caption 'Fear none,' has since been deleted.
In addition to the one-game ban, Frager is mandated to complete a course on gun violence as part of the NCAA Board of Governors' decision. This incident occurred after Frager made a taunting gesture towards Fears Jr. during their recent matchup. Fears Jr. responded on social media, subtly commenting on the repercussions of Frager's actions.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers will be without Frager for their upcoming game against Ohio State. Frager, a key player averaging 11.4 points per game, has been a significant contributor off the bench for the undefeated Cornhuskers. This suspension impacts the team's momentum as they aim to maintain their perfect season.
