Smith won’t get clemency

Lance Smith’s five-game, university-imposed suspension will not be modified, meaning the sophomore tailback will miss Wisconsin’s final two regular-season road games.

That was the message delivered Monday by University of Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema.

“I’ve been basically in discussions with different university personnel,” Bielema explained during his weekly news conference, “and I’ve been told to remain quiet about the issue so I’ll remain quiet.”
