Two New Mexico football players arrested in Albuquerque

University of New Mexico head football coach Mike Locksley said Sunday two players have been suspended indefinitely from all football-related activities after being arrested.
Locksley says offensive tackle Byron Bell and wide receiver Quintell Solomon were suspended following their arrests in downtown Albuquerque overnight.
The two players face disorderly conduct and other charges after being arrested at a downtown bar. They posted bond Sunday and were released.
An Albuquerque police spokeswoman says she doesn't have information about the arrests.
Locksley says the two players won't participate in UNM's football program until university officials obtain more information. Then, officials will determine appropriate disciplinary action.
One supporter says, The double standard for football players should be dropped. This is a small time subject that can only hurt people. Unless, of course you want to report all college towns with students in the clinker. Summer is a tough time on campus. It's even tougher with "pariah" stamped on your back by national press. Stop it already!!
