Missouri suspends five players after brawl

Missouri coach Mike Anderson suspended five players indefinitly following a weeking altercation that left his top scorer with a broken jaw.

Columbia police confirmed that Stefhon Hannah was with four of his teammates outside a downtown nightclub when he was attacked and had his jaw broken. Being at the nightclub that late or at all for that matter was a violation of team rules, and is what led to the suspension of the players involved in the matter.

This is terrible judgment on the part of these players. This injury to Hannah could cause him to miss the remainder of the season and for what? A few drinks and some laughs with his buddies. This puts their season in shrambles and causes a lot of embarrassment for the entire Missouri program, and the family members of the players involved.

I'm glad the players were suspended even though they were the victims. A rule is a rule no matter what. It sets a precident and shows that student athletes at Missouri aren't getting away with much...
