Ohio State Buckeyes dismiss LB K'Vaughan Pope after sideline incident

Ohio State senior linebacker K'Vaughan Pope has been dismissed from the team following a highly-publicized incident on Saturday in which he was escorted off the field during the Buckeyes' win against Akron, according to a statement from coach Ryan Day on Sunday.

"K'Vaughan will continue to have the use of programs that benefit our student-athletes, such as our Student-Athlete Support Services Office, and we will support him with his progress toward graduation," Day stated in the news release. "He will remain on scholarship through the duration of this semester."

According to Lettermen Row, Pope tried to enter the game in the second quarter but was waved off by linebacker Teradja Mitchell.
