Michigan State suspended senior linebacker Max Bullough for violating team rules making him ineligible to play in the Rose Bowl.
In a news release sent early Thursday Spartans coach Mark Dantonio said Bullough had been suspended for the rest of the season. He did not say what rules the two time team captain violated.
It is extremely disappointing for all parties involved Dantonio said.
The No. 4 Spartans will play No. 5 Stanford in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1 in Pasadena Calif. It is Michigan State's seventh straight bowl game and first appearance in the Rose Bowl in 26 seasons.
Bullough had 76 tackles and 91/2 tackles for loss this season earning him third team All America honors and first team all Big Ten honors. He has 299 career tackles and made 40 consecutive starts.
Authorities in the Traverse City Mich. area had no reports of legal issues involving Bullough.
In 2011 Bullough and then senior tight end Brian Linthicum were arrested after a disturbance at a bar in Aspen Colo. Bullough then 19 was charged with a being a minor in possession of alcohol and got nine months' probation.
Playing for Michigan State has been a family affair. Max Bullough's grandfather Hank Bullough played for Michigan State in the early 1950s and his father Shane followed in the mid 1980s. Two of Max Bullough's uncles were Spartans and his younger brother Riley is a redshirt freshman.
Clowney ticketed again South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney was pulled over again for going at least 25 mph over the limit.
Clowney was stopped around 10 30 a.m. Thursday going 84 mph in a 55 mph zone on Interstate 26 near Interstate 126 about 5 miles from the Gamecocks' campus Columbia Police said.
The traffic stop happened about an hour before the Gamecocks flew to Florida for the Jan. 1 Capital One Bowl against Wisconsin. The game will be the junior's last for the Gamecocks as he leaves school early for the NFL draft.
It's Clowney's second ticket in three weeks. On Dec. 7 state troopers say Clowney was going 110 mph in a 70 mph zone.
South Carolina's Steve Spurrier was asked about Clowney's latest ticket after the team landed in Orlando and the coach did not sound too concerned.
He needs to go to driving school doesn't he Somebody told me he got another speeding ticket today Spurrier said. At least he'll have enough money to pay for it a week or so from now.
