He picked up a chair and even though he did not attack anyone with it, the potential of the act lives on.

The 21-year-old put himself in the spotlight and his apology begins the process of moving forward. He still has to serve his 12-game suspension, but showing remorse is always the best option, and it appears the sentiment is genuine.
The Big 12 announced the following suspensions:
