Lance Smith, a sophomore running back for the University of Wisconsin football team, has been suspended for five games.
UW athletic director Barry Alvarez and Dean of Students Lori Berquam announced today that Smith will not travel or compete in each of the Badgers’ five road games, starting with Saturday’s game at UNLV.
The suspension, according to a news release serves “as resolution of a nonacademic misconduct case pending against” Smith, who was arrested in July following an incident with his girlfriend.
