Ridge Wilson
Update: Chip Cosby has that Wilson has been suspended from the team.
WLEX-TV in Lexiington is reporting that UK freshman linebacker Ridge Wilson will be charged with assault after alledgedly striking a female student in the face on campus.
UK coach Rich Brooks said that Wilson will not play Saturday and that his future with the team is up in the air.
Wilson is one of just five true freshmen that played in UK’s opener against Miami of Ohio. The other four were La’Rod King, Martavius Neloms, Donald Russell and Larry Warford.
Regardless of whether the young man is guilty or not, let the administration’s handling of this affair send a strong signal that such cowardly behavior will not be tolerated in this school’s athletic programs.
Don’t let one bad apple spoil it for us this weekend! I’m staying positive. All my Big Blue should go and vote online http://www.bigred.com. We’ll take them down!
John,
I know this is off topic, but would you happen to know which conferences officials will be officiating the UK-Louisville game.
