BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Memphis announced Wednesday night that defensive back Reggis Ball has been removed from the team for his actions after he made two interceptions in Wednesday's Birmingham Bowl.

Ball ran over to the Auburn Tigers sideline after the game and attempted to take two footballs before a member of the Auburn equipment staff came over to stop him. A Facebook video from an Auburn fan later surfaced showing Ball and an Auburn equipment staffer getting into a physical altercation in which Ball came away with a football and ran toward the locker room.

"We're embarrassed about the actions that occurred after the game, and that is definitely not the standards or expectations the Memphis football program stands for," Memphis athletic director Tom Bowen said in a statement. "Even though Mr. Ball's football career has ended, he will no longer be a part of the Memphis program because of these actions."

Ball is a redshirt senior.

According to The Ledger-Enquirer (Columbus, Georgia), the Auburn equipment staff was warned that if Ball were to get an interception, he has a history of attempting to steal a ball from the opponent after the game.

As for the game itself, Ball's two interceptions weren't enough. Auburn overpowered Memphis in the second half, winning 31-10.
