27 Players Suspended Following Wild College Football Weekend Brawl

A massive brawl broke out during halftime of last weekend's football game between Bethune-Cookman Grambling State.

Footage of this brawl surfaced on social media this past weekend. It appears several punches were thrown on the sideline. On Tuesday, the Southwestern Athletic Conference handed out several suspensions and fines to Bethune-Cookman and Grambling State.

"We’re extremely disappointed by the events that transpired during halftime of the Bethune-Cookman at Grambling State football game. Acts of that nature have zero place in the Southwestern Athletic Conference and intercollegiate athletics," said SWAC Commissioner Dr. Charles McClelland. "The Conference Office has and will continue to enforce a zero-tolerance policy for all acts deemed to be unsportsmanlike and contrary to the high standard of good sportsmanship we expect from all individuals associated with the athletics programs within our league."

A whopping 18 players from Grambling State have been suspended for their involvement in this brawl. Nine players from Bethune-Cookman were also suspended.

Grambling State was fined $40,000 this Tuesday, whereas Bethune-Cookman was hit with a $25,000 fine.
