NIU LB Indicted In Band Incident

((HT: ESPN/MAC/youtube))

The lesson here, the HQ guesses, is not to plow the horns section...

Northern Illinois LB Jamaal Bass has been indicted in Ohio on a felonious assault charge doing what he did below as he took the field when the teams played back in November.

Here's the incident, focus on Number 6 in white...
Decide for yourself...


Bass could face up to eight years in prison if convicted on the felonious assault charge, but he was also booked on a misdemeanor assault charge as well.

He was suspended after the 63-60 victory at Toledo and his coach, Dave Doeren, apologized to the band and to Toledo University in general...

"As the legal proceedings in Toledo involving NIU football player Jamaal Bass are ongoing, we will reserve any comment until that process is complete," Northern Illinois said in a statement. "Jamaal is currently enrolled at Northern Illinois and his status with the football program has not changed."

Until it does...although the HQ thinks it's a bit much...
