Running back Arie McQuaig, the second-leading rusher for Pierce College this season, was arrested and subsequently kicked off the team Thursday after an on-campus incident in which he apparently struck his girlfriend. "Unfortunately, there had been some problems and that was the straw that broke the camel's back," Pierce Coach Bill Norton said of McQuaig's dismissal from the team. "There was an incident (and) there's no comebacks on this one. He's a good kid, but he made a mistake."

WASHINGTON -- Education Secretary Arne Duncan has reinstated a $27,500 fine against Virginia Tech, finding that the university failed to provide a timely warning to the campus community in the 2007 shooting rampage that left 33 people dead. Duncan reversed a ruling by the department's chief administrative judge, who earlier this year overturned the fine after concluding that the university did not violate a federal law requiring timely warnings of safety threats. A federal court appeal is a "strong possibility," a university spokesman said.

Kicker Steve Rausch is one of two Arizona State football players who has been suspended by the university for violations of the school's code of conduct, the Arizona Republic reported.

Although it's now legal to smoke weed in Colorado, you still can't secretly feed it to your classmates. Two University of Colorado Boulder students face multiple felony charges after the marijuana-laced brownies they brought to class put their professor in the hospital and sickened seven classmates, campus police said Sunday. November's voter-approved Amendment 64 made Colorado's marijuana laws some of the most relaxed in the nation, but Thomas Ricardo Cunningham, 21, and Mary Elizabeth Essa, 19, may not get much help from it. The pair have been arrested on suspicion of planning and intentionally committing second-degree assault and inducing consumption of controlled substances by fraudulent means.
