UW football notes: Spartans’ Gholston to sit for cheap shot

The University of Wisconsin football team won?t have to worry about Michigan State standout defensive end William Gholston on Saturday night. The Big Ten Conference stepped in Thursday, after Michigan State officials declined to act, and suspended Gholston for one game. Gholston threw a punch last week against Michigan offensive tackle Taylor Lewan, which violated Big Ten Conference Agreement 10.01.1.A.1 – “Striking or attempting to strike or otherwise physically abusing an official, opposing coach, spectator or athlete.”
