Al-Quadin gone from UM this semester; Stanton update; More comments besmirching Luol Deng; Dolphins linebacker situation, notes
A Friday morning update:
### Defensive end Al Quadin Muhammad is no longer enrolled at UM and will not be allowed to play football this season, the school announced today. But he will be allowed to return next semester if he chooses.
UM hopes that he will return to UM next semester but it was not clear if Muhammad will choose to do that.
Muhammad is being punished for a confrontation with a roommate that left the roommate with a broken nose. The incident happened a while ago, and the former roommate has since graduated.
The UM football staff isn't happy with this decision, which was made above the athletic department.
According to a source, the ultimate decision in cases of this kind is vice president of student affairs, Patricia Whitely.
Muhammad told UM that he punched the roommate in self-defense, according to UM athletic department person. There were conflicting statements when witnesses were interviewed.
Al Golden held Muhammad out of UM's first two games.
Muhammad, a sophomore, was a four-star prospect coming out of Don Bosco Prep in New Jersey, rated the nation's No. 3 weakside linebacker prospect and 49th best player overall. He had two sacks as a freshman.
He's the second four-star prospect UM has lost this week (with Muhammad, at least for a semester). Freshman safety Kiy Hester transferred to Rutgers because of a family medical issue.
