MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) Fifteen players have been suspended for their roles in a fight that broke out during a basketball game Saturday between Division II programs Lane College and LeMoyne-Owen.
The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, which includes both schools, also announced Friday that it would fine the schools and their respective coaches an undisclosed amount.
Conference officials said three players who ”left the bench and were actively involved in the altercation” face five-game suspensions. Two players ”directly involved in the incident” received three-game suspensions. Ten more players who left the bench were suspended two games.
The names of the suspended players weren’t mentioned in the release announcing the punishments.
