Florida State Suspends Dee Feaster

Florida State announced that it has suspended tailback/punt returner Dee Feaster for Saturday’s game against Clemson because of academic problems. Feaster, a 5-foot-9, 182-pound senior, played in all six games this season and carried the ball 21 times for 73 yards. He also returned eight punts for 147 yards and two kicks for 54 yards. . . . Michigan safety Marcus Ray, suspended because of his contact with an agent, will sit out three more games, bringing the total to six. Ray will not be eligible to play again until the Nov. 7 game against Penn State. Michigan had said last week that Ray would be eligible to play in the Wolverines’ Oct. 31 game at Minnesota. Tom Goss, Michigan athletic director, said Wednesday the confusion arose from the school’s conversation with the NCAA last week. . . . Three days after setting a Big West Conference passing record, Nevada quarterback David Neill, a freshman from Newhall Hart High, was suspended after his arrest on felony charges of fraudulent use of a telephone credit card. Also arrested were wide receivers Mark Marcos and Chris Haagenson. The school’s athletic department rules require that they be suspended until the case is resolved.
