Here's why Washington State's Robert Barber is not playing for the Cougars
Robert Barber's status with the Washington State football team remains in limbo as he awaits a potential stay from the Whitman County Superior Court for a University-mandated suspension stemming from a July 2016 fight in which he allegedly assaulted and concussed a fellow student.
Barber, a fifth-year senior defensive line starter, and his attorney filed the petition last week asking for a judicial review of the university's action and to stay Barber's suspension pending that judicial review. The stay would allow Barber to be immediately reinstated to the football team.
