McMaster football player suspended

McMaster has enacted its student and athletics codes of conduct in the case of an on-
campus incident involving a member of the University's football team.

As a result, McMaster student Kyle Quinlan, who plays quarterback for the McMaster
Marauders, has been suspended from the team.

“Our Athletics Code of Conduct is clear in the standards we expect our athletes to
uphold,” said Jeff Giles, director of Athletics & Recreation at the University. “We take
that code very seriously and our athletes are all informed about the code and potential
consequences when they join one of our teams.”

The incident occurred last weekend outside twelvEighty, the McMaster Students Union pub on
campus. After an internal investigation it was determined that action would be taken
under the codes of conduct.

A police investigation has simultaneously been underway.

The suspension will continue pending ongoing investigations.

Giles said, “Quinlan has been an outstanding member of the football team for the past
three years. We know that the rest of the team will miss his leadership and are
confident players will continue to work together and maintain their focus on upcoming
games.”
