After snubbing Baker Mayfield of a handshake before Saturday’s 41-3 loss to Oklahoma, the KU football captains met with the media on Tuesday to address the incident and reaction.

The captains were stripped of their captaincy for the final game of the season against Oklahoma State. That role will instead be held by the seniors.

“Kind of an impulse decision,” said Daniel Wise. “That’s not who we are, really.”

“We weren’t thinking, at all,” added Jeremiah Booker, who stood next to Wise during the pregame festivities, but wasn’t noticed because he was in a hoodie.

Joe Dineen, the only captain to speak after the game, said he wasn’t frustrated by being the face of the incident. He said he took full responsibility for his actions and echoed the words of his coach earlier in the day.

“It was dumb,” said Dineen. “Obviously looking back it was a horrible idea.”
