KU football captains punished, reprimanded following Oklahoma handshake snub

Four Kansas football players who refused to shake Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield’s hand will not be captains in the Jayhawks’ season finale.

Dorance Armstrong, Daniel Wise, Joe Dineen and Jeremiah Booker, who snubbed Mayfield during the coin-toss ceremony before Saturday’s 41-3 home loss, will be replaced as captains by KU’s seniors in Saturday’s 11 a.m. game at Oklahoma State.

“They made a mistake in the heat of the moment that obviously they regret, and we certainly would never want (that) to happen again,” KU coach David Beaty said. “It was certainly unacceptable.”

Beaty said there would be no further on-field penalty for the four players.
