Huskers star Purify gets probation
Receiver still awaiting word from Nebraska's Callahan

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- Nebraska football player Maurice Purify pleaded no contest to four criminal charges Wednesday as part of a deal with prosecutors. He awaits word from coach Bill Callahan about how long his suspension from the team will last.

A Lancaster County judge sentenced the standout wide receiver to a year of probation and fined him $1,250.

During that time, Purify won't be allowed to enter a bar or any other business that primarily sells alcohol, and he'll have to attend drug and alcohol counseling.

And for 60 days, Purify will have the choice of either not driving or having a device attached to his car ignition that will make sure he is sober before he can start the car.

Purify was found guilty of driving while intoxicated, assault, disturbing the peace and hindering arrest. All those charges stem from two incidents earlier this year.

Now here is a real shocker: :biggrin:

Saban suggest players may not get suspended

HOOVER -- Alabama coach Nick Saban suggested at SEC Media Days on Thursday that a trio of players who were recently arrested might not face suspensions.
Brandon Deaderick, Brandon Fanney and Roy Upchurch were all arrested on July 14 after an incident outside a bar on University Avenue in Tuscaloosa. Fanney and Upchurch were given misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct, while Deaderick was hit with three misdemeanors: giving a false name, resisting arrest and third-degree criminal mischief.
"We will handle all discipline internally with our team," Saban said. "It will not be a public deal. These players have been given things they need to do and they are doing them. If they do them properly, learn from their mistakes, improve as people, then they won't face any suspensions or anything that will affect their ability to perform on the field.

Should be interesting to see if Butler is now brought back...

This was supposedly his third strike. Even if he's innocent in a court of law, it seems like being involved in this incident is awfully close to a third strike by itself.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) -- Indiana tight end Blake Powers was arrested after he threw a water balloon from one car into another, hitting an off-duty police officer.

Authorities said the 22-year-old Powers was released from the Monroe County Jail after he was booked Monday night on a preliminary misdemeanor charge of battery.

According to a police report, Powers admitted that while a car in which he was riding was stopped at a traffic signal, he had tossed a water balloon through the open window of another car, striking the driver in the head.

The driver, Paul Wampler, was an Indiana University police officer who had just gotten off work and was heading home. Wampler was in uniform in his personal vehicle.

Texas coach Mack Brown issued a statement saying that team officials have spoken with Jones and his family and have decided to suspend him indefinitely, meaning he won't be involved in any team functions pending the completion of legal proceedings.

The two are accused in a holdup in which cash, video game equipment and cell phones were stolen, according to an arrest warrant affidavit. Witnesses to the incident said in the affidavit that they saw Joseph with a handgun and Jones acting as if he were reaching for a gun.
