University of South Carolina quarterback Stephen Garcia was suspended today from all team activities until Aug. 15 by USC Athletic Director Eric Hyman.
The suspension stems from a third run-in with the law in 15 months for the redshirt freshman, who was one of three players charged Saturday with underage drinking by university police (not to mention a little episode of putting out a fire later that evening). It will mark the second straight year Garcia has been suspended from spring drills.
In addition, according to THE STATE , University officials have suspended Garcia from summer school and will require him to participate in an in-depth alcohol counseling program and submit to drug / alcohol tests if he wishes to return to school in mid-August, when summer school ends. So Garcia would have to be readmitted to USC. Garcia will be allowed to finish this semester at USC, but must move out of campus housing next week.
