Mixon becomes first college player to be suspended over a parking ticket – no, really
You would have thought after a year’s suspension with no issues and a no-trouble year-and-a-half of play, Joe Mixon would have earned back some good will points.
Guess not.
Star running back Mixon was suspended for the Oklahoma game on Thursday against Iowa State for doing what many of us have done in frustration: tearing up a parking ticket and throwing it on the ground. See details of the incident here.
The heavy punishment (for “violating the student conduct code”) resulted because of who Mixon is: a football player accused of assaulting a woman before he had ever even practiced in an OU uniform in 2014 (and who was later suspended from the team for a year).
Either that or leashes are now so short in Norman that dogs better watch out.
