Geoff Ketchum, the owner and publisher of OrangeBloods.com, the Texas website on the Rivals.com network, has been suspended for an offensive tweet about Ole Miss.

Treadwell, an African-American, had surgery later that night to repair a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle. He is expected to be out for the remainder of the season.
