The ncaa should give him a suspension.

Yes, because people who give a 2 handed shove are always arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent. Yeesh. He should miss a couple of games
What is Misdemeanor Assault?
Misdemeanor Assault, or “simple assault”, is basically an attempt to commit a battery. It can also be defined as any act that is made with the intent to create a reasonable fear of injury in the victim. An example of misdemeanor assault is where a person swings their fist at a person intending to create a fear of injury in the victim.
Actual physical contact is not necessary in order to find a person guilty of misdemeanor assault. Also, attempted contact that is considered to be offensive can result in assault charges, even if the act is not violent or physically harmful in nature.
What Are the Legal Consequences of Misdemeanor Assault?
Misdemeanor assault may be treated differently depending to the laws of individual states, as well as the factual circumstances surrounding the assault. In general, misdemeanor assault charges can result in the following legal penalties:
Monetary fines (anywhere from hundreds of dollars to $1,000) AND/OR
Jail sentence in a local county jail (not a federal prison facility)
Possible exposure to a civil lawsuit- the defendant would then be liable for the victim’s injuries or losses. Punitive damages may be awarded in some cases
Yes, I know it's technically assault sparky. My point is this stuff is never prosecuted because its utterly itrelevant and serves only to clutter an already overworked criminal justice system

This. If I'm that guy, it's lawsuit city. And it's on national television. Yep.
There is nothing to due about. The guy doesn't have any injuries. You can't just sue somebody for pushing you you if you're ok afterwards. You could get a restraining order I suppose. But there s no money to be madr
you are way wrong dude. sorry. if you dont get it, its not worth splainin
Who does he sue? Smart? He doesn't have any money. Sue OK State? Sue security? Nah.

You have to be able to show damages to win a lawsuit. The guy has had no property damages. He didn't fall. He sustained no injury. He cannot sue for punitive judgements without some actual damage. No respectable physician is going to be able to make a claim that the guy is going to have to miss work for this. There's just nothing there to sue about.
Maia, assault is a criminal court issue. You can't file a civil suit because somebody committed a criminal act. You have to show damages from that act you're trying to recoup. There is no case here. No harm can be shown

It has nothing to do with damages when assault is concerned. Even a threat can be enough to get you a fine or jail time (under a year).

i think you might honestly believe this......you really think reality has anything to do with it.
the investigation better dam well reveal what that fan said to him, to make Smart do that and THEN POINT at him as he was being restrained by teammates

Only in a criminal suit. The guy isn't getting arrested (that I can tell), so that only leaves a civil suit.
I want to know what the guy said before I crush Smart. No excuse for doing it but if the guy dropped an n bomb or something like that I could at least kind of understand him losing his cool in the heat of the moment.

Smart is almost certainly done for the year. While I know people are going to say no excuse for what he did, fans can get completely out of control. The higher standard should go both ways. From the video, it looked like a very good chance that at least the ladies nearby were saying some disrespectful things and one was clapping in his face. This is a 19-20 year old guy doing this for free. The same day this happened, we have fans spitting on players:
