Head coach Steve Kollar, who won Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference Coach of the Year in 2021, was temporarily suspended following the incident. Since the incident took place, 4 of the 5 players have been released from the hospital.

The players were reportedly asked to visit the emergency room if they were experiencing symptoms related to rhabdomyolysis, a condition where broken-down muscle fibers leak throughout the body that is caused by physical exertion, often seen in the military.
