College football | TCU's Boykin arrested on assault charge, suspended by coach

SAN ANTONIO -- Police charged star TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin with felony assault of a police officer stemming from a bar fight early today, and he was suspended for the Alamo Bowl game against No. 15 Oregon.

The decision by coach Gary Patterson effectively ends Boykin's college career, because he is a senior.

Patterson said that Boykin and junior wide receiver Preston Miller were suspended for Saturday's game because of a violation of team rules that he did not specify.

"We are disappointed in their actions and apologize to the TCU Horned Frogs Nation, Valero Alamo Bowl and city of San Antonio," the coach said.
