"Our football team has a high standard of conduct all of our players are fully aware of, and not only expected to abide by, but also embrace," A-State Head Coach Blake Anderson said. "Our team is a family and we have emphasized that while building a positive culture within our program. Sadly, two of our family members chose to go down a disappointing path that is highly unacceptable and won't be tolerated by the team."
"Our player understand that unacceptable actions come with difficult consequences," Anderson continued. "Chris and Tyler will now have to face those consequences. Our team will use this as a teaching and learning opportunity, and we wish Chris and Tyler only the best.
