CFB: Idaho LB Robinson reprimanded for punch


Associated Press

BOISE, Idaho — Idaho linebacker Tre’Shawn Robinson has been reprimanded by Western Athletic Conference commissioner Karl Benson for throwing a punch in the Vandals’ 29-25 victory over San Jose State last weekend.

Robinson was ejected from Saturday’s game for unnecessary roughness after the Spartans scored a touchdown in the first half.

Robinson is expected to play against Idaho's next opponent, Hawaii, on Saturday at the Kibbie Dome.

Benson said Robinson’s actions violate the WAC’s sportsmanship code and will not be tolerated. Benson said any future problems could result in a one-game suspension.

Players throwing punches during or after games has become an issue in the wake of Oregon’s LeGarrette Blount landing a blow to the chin of Boise State player Byron Hout last month. Blount was ultimately suspended for the season for throwing the punch at the end of the game.
