Bobcats athletics spokesman Jason Corriher released a statement calling the actions "extremely poor judgment and sportsmanship" and saying that the university regrets the negative effect they may have on the relationship between the two schools.
I'm so confused by this. When did it become taboo for the mascots to playfully tackle each other and such? Why on earth is this a big deal?

I'm honestly, totally confused by this.
