Kansas stripped linebacker Joe Dineen, defensive tackle Daniel Wise, and defensive end Dorance Armstrong of their captaincies, after they snubbed Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield of a handshake during Saturday's coin toss.

The trio won't serve as captains for the Jayhawks' final game of the year against Oklahoma State.

"That's not how this game should be played," a remorseful Dineen told ESPN's Jake Trotter Tuesday. "It won't happen from me or from this program again."

Kansas' decision to strip the trio of their captaincies comes a day after Oklahoma announced Mayfield won't be a captain or start for the Sooners on their senior day.
