Josh Brent, a defensive lineman for the Illinois Fighting Illini, was arrested for DUI this weekend. A Champaign County Jail official says Brent posted bail and has been released.However, the worst of his troubles probably started Sunday, when head coach Ron Zook announced that he would be "suspended indefinitely."
Zook says in a release Sunday that Brent is suspended until the team can "gather all the facts." He says officials will continue to monitor the information.There's no real telling exactly how long "indefinitely" will be (such is the nature of the word), but it would seem that Zook is taking a hard-line stance with his team and poor behavior off the field, presuming that he continues to apply the pressure on Brent. It's actually refreshing, too, to see the number of coaches that are starting to not put up with off-field shenanigans from their young players.
