COMMERCE, Texas (AP) -A Texas college football coach has apologized for applauding his players for removing campus newspapers from their racks because of a story about the program.
M-Commerce coach Guy Morriss told campus police the actions by his players was “the best team-building exercise we have ever done.” On Monday, the former Kentucky and Baylor coach apologized for a “lapse in judgment” and said the comment was made facetiously.
Police were investigating the disappearance of newspaper editions that included a front-page article about two football players being arrested on drug charges.
M-Commerce athletic director Carlton Cooper said the Division II program would pay for the reprint of the missing edition, and that coaches and players would distribute it.
