CHICAGOTRIBUNE.COM - Freshman linebacker Jamie Kuntz says he was kicked off the North Dakota State College of Science football team because his boyfriend kissed him during a game, a charge the school disputes.

Kuntz, 18, said he and his 65-year-old boyfriend were in the press box at a game against Snow College in Pueblo, Colo., on Sept. 1. Kuntz was videotaping the game for the team when "the kiss just happened," he said.
