(CSTV U-WIRE) ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Three Michigan football players faced with recent legal troubles will not return next season, Michigan coach Lloyd Carr announced in a meeting with reporters before practice Saturday.
Tight end Carson Butler and defensive back Christian Richards, who both pleaded not guilty to an aggravated assault charge Wednesday, and defensive end Eugene Germany, who paid a $50 fine Feb. 20 after being charged with possession of marijuana, will no longer be part of the team.

I'd be shocked if Arrington isn't playing for scUM this fall.

Ah, good 'ol college football. If your program is having some troubles and youre not a star player and you get into trouble, bye bye... On the other hand, if you're Marlin Jackson...

that's why i seriously doubt they would kick arrington off the team, but it sure would be nice, he was really coming on last year. maybe he'll transfer to jackson state.

Accused football players given chance to settle
By Kevin Wright, Daily Sports Editor

During a pre-trial hearing for assault charges at the 15th District Court on Friday, the prosecution offered former Michigan football players Carson Butler and Christian Richards a settlement deal.

The deal requires Butler and Richards plead guilty to assault and battery, Jarrett said.
In return, the counts of aggravated assault, as well as Butler's minor in possession charge, will be dropped, he said.

Butler and Richards must also spend eight to ten hours a week mentoring youth in the juvenile system, complete a year of probation and pay the victim $8,062 in medical expenses.

The victim's family also requested the two men undergo random drug and alcohol testing during their year of probation.
