Florida has suspended the baseball coach Kevin O'Sullivan during the first three games of the regular season of 2026 after her blasphemous language aimed at the site administrators during a regional NCAA in Conway, South Carolina.
“The suspension announced today reinforces Florida Athletics's commitment to our standards, with coach O'Sullivan accepting full responsibility for his behavior,” said Athletics Director Scott Stricklin in a statement on Friday. “Sully has promised to learn from experience and serve as a better leader in the future.”
The Division I baseball committee of the NCAA also issued a public reprimand to O'Sullivan for their aggressive behavior.
The Committee said that O'Sullivan actions on June 1 violated an NCAA statute that says that misconduct in a championship event is “any act of dishonesty, unsportsmanlike behavior, non -professional behavior or breach of the law, which occurs from the moment when the field of the championship is announced until the end of the championship, which discredits the event or intercollegial athletes.” “
O'Sullivan was upset because the start time of the elimination game of his team against East Carolina, a loss of 11-4, was backed up an hour. East Carolina's previous game had ended at midnight.
The Florida coach apologized publicly the day after his outbreak, but the diatriba videos were widely distributed on social networks. Kevin Schnall, coach of the coast of the Carolina coast, cheated O'Sullivan for the outbreak during a press conference later that day.
“This is a national champion coach who believes he can come here and try to intimidate people,” Schnall said at that time. “Disappointed. Disappointed to someone who many coaches admire, so that he acts in that way.”
