Three CSU football players have been expelled from the Fort Collins campus for their roles in an off-campus fight April 6, the university said in a statement Friday.

Nordly Capi, Mike Orakpo and Colton Paulhus are expelled from the university, effective Monday, May 7, a university spokesman said in a statement. All three were members of the football team at Colorado State University.

CSU’s Office of Conflict Resolution & Student Conduct Services made the decision to expel those students. Although there is an appeals process, and the deadline to request an appeal is May 15, expulsion in the Student Conduct Code means a permanent removal from the university. A notification of the expulsion will be on each former student’s transcript, which cannot be removed.
