Eastern Michigan athletic director Scott Wetherbee issued an apology and condemned the actions of the Eagles players following a postgame incident during their 68 Ventures Bowl loss to South Alabama. The incident occurred when an Eastern Michigan player, Korey Hernandez, punched a South Alabama player, Jamarrien Burt, while the South Alabama band was performing. This led to a brawl between players from both teams before they were separated. The motive behind the punch remains unclear. Wetherbee expressed his disappointment and embarrassment over the incident and stated that it did not reflect the standards and sportsmanship expected from student-athletes. He also apologized to the Eastern Michigan University community, the South Alabama team, and their fans. Wetherbee assured that they were committed to investigating the incident thoroughly and would share any relevant information and videos.
