Video: NIU Football Player Suspended For Knocking Over Toledo Band Member

As the Northern Illinois football team came out onto the field for their Tuesday night football game against Toledo, freshman linebacker Jamaal Bass took a cheap shot against a member of the Toledo marching band. Bass knocked over the band member by jumping up and hitting him in the head with his shoulder pad.




In the video, you can see on the right side of your screen as Bass (NIU jersey #6) gives a shot to the head of an unsuspecting flute player.  The flute player bumps into the nose of a nearby clarinet player before falling to the ground.

NIU has suspended Bass for next week's game against Bowling Green.  Without question, this had to be done.  This kind of behavior can not be tolerated.
