BOULDER?University of Colorado football coach Dan Hawkins suspended junior-to-be wide receiver Markques Simas indefinitely Friday morning for violating team rules.
Athletic director Mike Bohn approved of the suspension.
"This is obviously disappointing, but we are going to continue to emphasize our philosophy of excellence with class and we will uphold our standards," Hawkins said.
After redshirting in 2007 and missing the 2008 season due to academic ineligibility as well as the first two games of the 2009 season, Simas finally saw the field for the first time in CU's 24-0 win over Wyoming.? He went on to secure a starting position at receiver and finished second on the team with 43 receptions for 575 yards and three touchdowns.?
