USF Already in Mid-Season Form

The South Florida Bulls only started spring practice a week ago, but once more USF finds players in trouble with the law and suspended from the team.
Two University of South Florida starting defensive backs were arrested early this morning outside a Tampa bar on misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and obstructing or opposing an officer without violence and have been suspended indefinitely by USF coach Jim Leavitt.

Senior cornerback Mike Jenkins, who turned 22 Thursday, and sophomore strong safety Carlton Williams, 21, were arrested shortly after 3 a.m. by Hillsborough County sheriff's deputies at Bobalouie's Pub, 1913 Bearss Avenue. They were released on $750 bond about 8:30 this morning.
Apparently there was a crowd of nearly 200 outside the bar after it had closed around 3 am. Go figure a crowd that large, plenty of people who had been drinking and now without their booze. Naturally a large fight broke out leading to the arrest of Jenkins and Williams.

Last off-season, the Bulls had several players arrested and suspended. Not to mention more then a couple academic casualties. Looks like not much has changed.
