Silvio De Sousa has had one of the most interrupted college basketball careers in recent memory. And yet it still feels like he’s being enabled.
The off-again, on-again Kansas power forward was suspended 12 games Wednesday by the Big 12 Conference for his stool-wielding role as the primary provocateur in the Jayhawks’ disturbing, bench-clearing melee with rival Kansas State Tuesday night. Teammate David McCormack was suspended for two games; Kansas State players James Love and Antonio Gordon were docked eight and three games, respectively.
If the video weren’t so chaotic and difficult to analyze, at least another half-dozen players could have been suspended for their roles.
