Arkansas WR ejected from Belk Bowl for spitting in Virginia Tech player's face

The Arkansas Razorbacks have a lot to be embarrassed about from Thursday's Belk Bowl.

First, it was reported Thursday that senior Jeremy Sprinkle was sent home before the game for allegedly shoplifting from a Belk department store, even though he received a $450 gift card from the store. Then, during a second-half meltdown in which Arkansas blew a 24-point halftime lead, senior wide receiver Drew Morgan was ejected after being flagged for flagrant unsportsmanlike conduct.

His crime? Spitting in the face of a Virginia Tech player.

Arkansas coach Brett Bielema said Drew Morgan was ejected for spitting in a #Hokies player's face.
