Usually when we hear about college football players and automobiles, it invariably has to do with some kind of NCAA violation--like an Ohio State player getting use of a Cadillac Escalade from an Alumnus or an Oklahoma quarterback getting a job at a local car dealership to which he never had to show up.

However, when you play for the Washington Huskies--who give Stanford a run for their money in futility--sometimes you've got to take matters into your own hands. And that's exactly what Michael Houston, the Huskies' running back, did.

Via our friends at Fark, charges have been filed against Houston for allegedly stealing a taxicab last October--a move which got him suspended from the team.

The former Texas Longhorn must have been aspiring to keep up with his former teammates. Taxicab...Television...Whatever.
