WAHPETON, N.D. - A North Dakota State College of Science football player says he was kicked off the NDSCS football team because he is gay.

Jamie Kuntz was with the team in Colorado Labor Day weekend, when someone spotted him kissing his boyfriend in the press box. Kuntz was injured that day and unable to play. He tells KFGO News that head coach Chuck Parsons confronted him during the return bus trip to Wahpeton.

In a statement, NDSCS says Kuntz is no longer a student and has voluntarily left the college after being dismissed from the team for a rules violation. The college does not specify what rules may have been broken.
