Kuntz, 18, and on a partial football scholarship, left the college in southeast North Dakota this month after his dismissal from the team. Football coach Chuck Parsons told Kuntz in a letter that he was removed from the team for lying about the kiss. North Dakota State College of Sciences in Wahpeton acknowledges Kuntz was disciplined by the team, but says it wasn't because he is gay. A kiss from his much-older boyfriend at that game led the freshman linebacker to be kicked off the team, he said. (AP) - A concussion kept Jamie Kuntz from suiting up for his first college football game.
