Michigan coach suspends Stenavich
Marshfield News-Herald
University of Michigan football player Adam Stenavich has been suspended by his coach while an invesitation continues over his behavior in a Marshfield bar while he was visiting home over the Thanksgiving break.
Stenavich, 21, an offensive tackle for the Rose Bowl-bound and Big Ten champion Wolverines, was recently named first-team All-Big Ten by the conference coaches and second-team by the conference media.
He was arrested for disorderly conduct Nov. 28, and Marshfield police have requested that the Wood County district attorney file state criminal charges against him. The charges arose after an incident at the Elixir Nite Club after he was asked to leave by an employee, and had to be removed by police.
No charges had been announced as of Wednesday night. The district attorney's office has refused comment since the incident, saying only that it is still under investigation.
At a pre-Rose Bowl trip news conference Wednesday, Michigan football coach Lloyd Carr said: "I suspended him pending finding out exactly what happened there."
"Adam Stenavich has not practiced in the last few practices, because of the suspension," he added.
A Detroit News report on the press conference quoted Carr as saying Stenavich "will not start the Rose Bowl."
"I'm hoping that in the next day or two I will have all the information, and at that point I'll make a decision on whether or not he accompanies the team to Los Angeles," the coach said.
Stenavich has not responded to repeated requests for comment.
