RALEIGH, NC (WTVD) — North Carolina Central University won 26-3 against Howard University on Friday night.

After the match, a brawl broke out on the field. Conformable our newsgathering partners at News & Observershortly after NCCU head coach Trei Oliver and HU head coach Larry Scott shook hands, things descended into chaos among the players and coaches.

This lasted about five minutes before the two teams were separated.

Here’s what Coach Oliver had to say about the incident:

“I always shake hands. Last year I didn’t like the atmosphere at the end of the game, so I told my guys to go to the locker room,” he said. “I walked on the field and shook the coach’s hand. I took the loss. I was down there talking to another coach, I didn’t see what happened, but that’s not our football team. That’s not who we are, we don’t have seen. I don’t care what happened. We’re going to the locker room, then it’s not us, that won’t be tolerated.

The NCAA is currently reviewing the actions following this game to determine whether any player or personnel sanctions will be imposed. A decision is expected by Tuesday.

“This was a very unfortunate incident and we take it very seriously,” said MEAC Commissioner Sonja Stills. “MEAC holds its student-athletes, coaches and staff to the highest standards of sportsmanship and professionalism. We are committed to thoroughly reviewing this matter and will take appropriate disciplinary action based on our findings.”
