University of Minnesota Athletics Director Mark Coyle has suspended center Reggie Lynch from competition. The decision was made after the University’s EOAA (Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action) office reportedly found he was responsible for alleged sexual misconduct.
Coyle spoke with the media Friday and would not detail the length of the suspension, but said Lynch cannot participate in athletic competition. However, he noted Lynch is still a member of the team.
"Reggie Lynch will not being playing tomorrow -- he is suspended," Coyle said.
Coyle cited student privacy laws on numerous occasions, expressing confidence in the University’s process regarding assault allegations.
