Northern Illinois Linebacker Suspended For Sacking Opposing Band Member

When you're on a defense that gives up 60 points in regulation, that's reason enough to be suspended. But NIU linebacker Jamaal Bass earned his suspension the hard way, by knocking over a Toledo band member before the matchup Tuesday night. Huskies coach Dave Doeren announced the suspension this afternoon, apologizing for the incident but not, again, for allowing 60 points to the University of Toledo.

Also owing an apology: ESPN analyst Tim Brown for pronouncing the state "Illinoise."

This is the second in a series of "Deadspin Videos." The music is "I'm In The Band" by Bratmobile.
