"The University of Tulsa expects our teams to set an example for excellence in sportsmanship and exhibit our values, including integrity of character. We also expect our coaches to hold our student-athletes accountable for behavior on and off the field.
Regardless of cause or the outcome of any investigations, we are extremely disappointed by the actions that followed Thursday's bowl game. Be assured this incident is being thoroughly reviewed and the appropriate disciplinary measures will be taken.
The behavior did not reflect the TU values we seek to instill in future leaders. I apologize to the loyal alumni and fans who witnessed such a troubling end to an otherwise successful season.
