AAC concludes investigation, ‘supports and accepts’ Jarreau suspension

The American Athletic Conference on Monday, according to the Houston Chronicle, concluded its investigation of DeJon Jarreau’s biting incident in Houston’s 64-62 loss at Cincinnati on Saturday that led to the junior guard’s team-imposed, one-game suspension.

Jarreau, who was caught by the ESPN broadcast appearing to bite Cincinnati’s Mamoudou Diarra while diving for a loose ball, was suspended by head coach Kelvin Sampson on Sunday for his actions and will sit against Tulane on Thursday.

Sampson initially disagreed with the flagrant 2 foul handed down to the junior by referees because of a viral clip showing Jarreau in a scrum with Cincinnati’s Keith Williams but changed his after a new angle involving Diarra surfaced.
