Kansas Video Coordinator Reportedly Suffered Arm Injury During Brawl With Kansas State
By Karl Rasmussen
On Tuesday night, tensions flared between in-state rivals Kansas and Kansas State after the Jayhawks took down the Wildcats at Allen Fieldhouse. A wild brawl occurred at the end of the game when Silvio De Sousa blocked a K-State player's shot, and stared him down.
The wild brawl got ugly when De Sousa was seen attempting to go after someone with a folding chair, and now it's been reported that amid all the havoc, one individual sustained a rather serious arm injury.
Per reports, a Kansas video coordinator suffered an arm injury that will require them to wear a sling for about one month.
Bill Self says staff member Jeremy Case broke his right arm after an awkward fall while trying to break up the brawl on Tuesday. #KUbball He’ll be in a sling for 4 weeks.

Jeremy Case, who works on the Jayhawks' video team, fell while trying to help separate players during the brawl. He landed awkwardly on his right arm, causing the injury.
The Big 12 announced the following suspensions:

While De Sousa has been suspended for 12 games due to his involvement in the brawl, it's truly a shame that someone who was just trying to break things up ended up sustaining an injury.
Hopefully Case recovers quickly and is able to resume his video work for the team.
