Disgusting,’ one outraged spectator fumed on X. ‘You can’t be celebrating injuring a player like that.”Should be out for the season,’ another fan argued. ‘He knew what he did and was laughing about it afterwards. That should be completely unacceptable at every level.”One game is an absolute joke,’ posted a third fan. ‘He should be out four games minimum after his antics following the late hit.’Others called on the Big Ten conference to step in and supersede the school’s disciplinary action with a harsher penalty under its sportsmanship policy.Stephens will now sit out the Trojans’ clash with Washington, though pressure continues to mount on league officials to hand down further sanctions.
