NCAA Football Blotter; Notre Dame, Washington, and a Top Recruit

Posted on March 22, 2011 by Matthew Stockwell
 
Yet another college football arrest, as Notre Dame suspended star Wide Receiver Michael Floyd following charges of driving while intoxicated. Floyd's blood alcohol level was reportedly twice the legal limit. This is Floyd's third alcohol related incident since 2009.

At approximately 3:18 a.m., Floyd ran a stop sign near the University. After he was pulled over, he failed field sobriety tests, which then allowed the police to conduct a breathalyzer test. Floyd blew a .19, well above Indiana's legal limit of .08. 

Also, Washington dismissed Wide Receiver Jordan Polk. It is not exactly clear why, but Polk was just charged with a domestic violence crime as a result of property damage caused to his ex-girlfriend's home. Polk was reportedly jealous that she was spending her 21st birthday with her new boyfriend. Polk is charged with a misdemeanor, and Coach Steve Sarkisian denied that Polk's dismissal was entirely related to the incident, stating that the decision was made a few weeks ago, and that Polk "needs a fresh start."

And finally, a Texas high school linebacker being recruited by Texas Tech, Alabama, USC, Oklahoma and Ohio State, was arrested for alleged sexual assault of a minor. Derek David was accused of forcing a 16 year old girl into his aunt's house and allegedly had sex with her against her will.
