""Jabbar Juluke's conduct during the pregame altercation reflects behavior that is unacceptable and not aligned with the standards of the Southeastern Conference," SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said in a news release. "Coaches are expected to be leaders and to de-escalate tense situations, and that did not happen in this circumstance. This suspension is appropriate, and any future misconduct by Jabbar Juluke will result in more severe disciplinary action.""
""I, first, would like to apologize to both Florida and LSU universities, their teams, staff and fans. I also sincerely apologize to the young athlete and his family. On Saturday, I reacted in a manner I'm not proud of. There's no excuse for my behavior and I take full responsibility for my actions. In this game, emotional situations occur and bad reactions happen. I regret my reaction and commit to using this moment to strengthen my emotional intelligence.""
Florida associate head coach and running backs coach Jabbar Juluke received a three-game suspension from the Southeastern Conference for involvement in a pregame altercation at Tiger Stadium before the LSU game. Juluke will miss games at No. 4 Miami, home against No. 8 Texas and at No. 10 Texas A&M. SEC commissioner Greg Sankey called the conduct unacceptable, said coaches must de-escalate tense situations and warned of harsher discipline for future misconduct. Juluke apologized to both universities, teams, staff, fans and the young athlete, accepted responsibility and pledged to strengthen his emotional intelligence. Video showed multiple pregame scuffles, Juluke's direct role was unclear, no penalties were assessed before the game, and LSU won 20-10.
