Arkansas WR ejected from Belk Bowl for spitting in Virginia Tech player's face image

The Arkansas Razorbacks have a lot to be embarrassed about from Thursday's Belk Bowl. 

First, it was reported Thursday that senior Jeremy Sprinkle was sent home before the game for allegedly shoplifting from a Belk department store, even though he received a $450 gift card from the store. Then, during a second-half meltdown in which Arkansas blew a 24-point halftime lead, senior wide receiver Drew Morgan was ejected after being flagged for flagrant unsportsmanlike conduct.

His crime? Spitting in the face of a Virginia Tech player. 

The ESPN broadcast team didn't catch the heinous act against the unknown Virginia Tech player, or if it did, it refused to air it. Rather, the broadcast only showed Morgan being escorted off the field with 5:44 remaining in the game. 

Morgan had four catches for 75 yards in the 35-24 loss before the ejection.
