Chicago (CBS) — <\/strong>The Concordia University men’s basketball team will not play the remaining conference games, effectively ending the team’s competitive season. <\/p>\n CBS 2’s Sabrina Franza has spoken to the parent of one of the players who still hasn’t been cleared to play after he and five other players were hospitalized a few weeks ago. <\/p>\n His father wasn’t surprised to hear the news, but it wasn’t exactly what he wanted to hear. <\/p>\n Ryan Colicotte said, “Everything is sass. I was just told.” <\/p>\n Colicotte caught up with CBS 2 on Saturday night by phone, having just finished a Zoom meeting for players and their families to decide what to do with the rest of Concordia’s basketball season. <\/p>\n “The season is almost over,” said Ryan Corricott. <\/p>\n Six players, including Ryan’s son, were hospitalized on Jan. 6 after a particularly grueling team workout. <\/p>\n A subsequent internal investigation revealed that the player had been hospitalized with rhabdomyolysis caused by muscle damage from over-exercise. <\/p>\n “He’s perfectly fine, which means he’s probably not 100% yet. He can’t come back yet,” he said. <\/p>\n An investigation determined that the intensity of practice was the result of some players breaking the curfew two days earlier, but said it was not a haze act. <\/p>\n As a result, the team had to abandon multiple games. The NCAA stepped in and banned them from playing the rest of the conference games as a result of recent events. <\/p>\n Ryan Baker wants his son to be allowed to play and extended for another year because of what’s going on. <\/p>\n He is not yet cleared to play this year. <\/p>\n The team is considering playing tough noncronfrontations.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n
