Kansas finally punishes the players who refused to shake Baker Mayfield’s hand

“That’s not how this game should be played,” Dineen told ESPN. “It won’t happen from me or from this program again. It wasn’t meant to be disrespectful towards them. It was us trying to get our guys motivated.”

The Jayhawks announced on Tuesday afternoon, that linebacker Joe Dineen, defensive tackle Daniel Wise and defensive end Dorance Armstrong will be stripped of their captain’s status for their final game against Oklahoma State.

The decision is a result of their decision not to shake hands with Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield prior to the pre-game coin toss.
