UW football: Ikegwuonu faces robbery charge

Jack Ikegwuonu, a star cornerback for the University of Wisconsin football team, was arrested over the weekend in DeKalb, Ill.Ikegwuonu and his brother Bill were charged with residential burglary, a Class 1 felony in Illinois, and criminal trespass.

It’s unclear whether Jack Ikegwuonu, who last week was named a first-team All-Big Ten selection by the league’s coaches, will face a suspension. Under the UW’s Student-Athlete Discipline policy, “felony theft or felony criminal damage to property” are among the crimes which can cause a student-athlete to be suspended.
