Coach Lincoln Riley announced the disciplinary action Monday, occasionally choking up as he said Mayfield “has got a great heart and I’m proud as hell to be his coach.”
Mayfield’s offseason arrest for public intoxication in Fayetteville, Ark., brought only an internal punishment, and the senior apologized after planting an OU flag on Ohio State’s field following the Sooners’ 31-16 win in Week 2.
“This program has very, very high standards,” Riley said. “When they’re not met, there’s got to be consequences. At the same time, he’s a young person. When I was a young person, I made a lot of mistakes too. That’s part of it.
“I think it’s important for everybody here, (and) across the country, to keep it in perspective. Everybody, not just Baker, they’re still just young men. They’re not adults. They’re still learning.”
