Miami player Mark Fletcher Jr. was caught on camera throwing a punch at an Indiana opponent in the aftermath of their national championship game on Monday night.
Footage broadcast by ESPN well after the game had concluded showed the Hurricanes’ Fletcher Jr. launching a punch at Tyrique Tucker of the Hoosiers.
The incident appeared to happen immediately after the game had finished but it remains unclear what sparked it.
Running back Fletcher Jr. continued to pursue Tucker on the field before a member of Miami staff managed to drag him away from trouble.
It was a sour end to what was a brilliant night that ended with the Hoosiers being crowned national champions for the first time in their history.
