Marvin Austin has been suspended indefinitely by North Carolina for a “violation of team rules,” as ESPN’s Joe Schad and Sports Illustrated’s Stewart Mandel have tweeted. UNC itself offers a little more detail.
Marvin Austin Suspended Indefinitely By North Carolina For ‘Violation Of Team Rules’
University of North Carolina head coach Butch Davis has suspended senior defensive tackle Marvin Austin indefinitely.
“This decision is not a result of the ongoing NCAA review,” says Davis. “Marvin has violated team rules and has neglected his responsibilities to the team.”
Note the tricky language: Though the decision isn’t a result of an ongoing NCAA investigation, Austin’s involvement in the investigation or in trying to clear his name on Facebook could certainly constitute a “violation of team rules.”
It’s not clear how long Austin will be suspended, but he will not play Saturday against LSU.
