QB Wilson Leaving N.C. State�But Says He Doesn't Want To

Russell Wilson is leaving N.C. State.

But apparently, he doesn't really want to.

Late last week, N.C. State announced in a statement that it had released the star quarterback from his scholarship. On Saturday, however, Russell said that he wasn't really "released" from anything; instead, the quarterback said, he was pushed out of the program by coach Tom O'Brien, who had seemingly has grown tired of Wilson's juggling act between football and minor-league baseball.

Five-Step Drop: Schlichter Charged

Filed under: ,

FanHouse's college football staff provides you with a personal quarterback. We do the primary and secondary reads for you so you can properly start your day.

1. There's a sad update in the Art Schlichter story we told you about last week. The former Ohio State quarterback was charged Monday with stealing more than $1 million from a Columbus-area woman. Schlichter's attorney expects federal charges are also forthcoming. The charges relate to Schlichter's alleged involvement in a ticket-brokering scheme. The Columbus Dispatch has a closer look at the scheme and Schlichter's role in it. The woman he is accused of stealing from is the widow of an executive for the Wendy's hamburger chain. She says her decision to help Schlichter "has cost me nearly everything."

2. As the Horns Turn: Jerry Gray returned to his alma mater, Texas, about a month ago to become Mack Brown's defensive backs coach. That position came open when longtime Horns assistant Duane Akina left to become Mike Stoops' defensive coordinator at Arizona. Gray has now left Texas, without even coaching spring practice, to become Mike Munchak's defensive coordinator with the Tennessee Titans. The Horns have already replaced Gray ... with Duane Akina. Never has the phrase "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss" been more appropriate.

Michigan WR Stonum Arrested, Suspended

For the time being, at least, Michigan is going to have to get by without one of its top offensive weapons.

Wideout Darryl Stonum, who caught 49 passes for 633 yards in 2010, has been suspended indefinitely by new coach Brady Hoke after being arrested for drunk driving over the weekend. It was Stonum's second drunk driving offense. The wideout also committed a series of probation violations and spent three days in jail last summer.

In a statement, Hoke said Stonum's latest arrest "unacceptable, and won't be tolerated."

"Darryl has been suspended indefinitely from all team activities," Hoke said. "If he fulfills all of the commitments he has to the legal system and our program, we will make a determination regarding his return to the team."
