Zac Collier was supposed to perform the national anthem at the Men’s College World Series, which begins on Thursday, June 16. However, his opportunity was rescinded due to a Horns Down gesture he used ahead of a Women’s College World Series game.
The 27-year-old Texas A&M alum used the gesture at the Texas–Oklahoma State WCWS game last week. The Horns Down sign is used against Texas fans, who typically do Horns Up.
Following this incident, Collier was emailed regarding his gig, purportedly from the College World Series of Omaha, Inc. In a screenshot posted by Collier to his Facebook page, the NCAA said that they "have documented proof that he made offensive gestures and mockery of a participating team ... and we do not feel comfortable allowing him to perform."
