Accused UTC Players Suspended from School
Six Chattanooga football players charged with raping a female student have been temporarily suspended by the university and an attorney for one of the players says he might challenge the action.
Attorney Mike Little said today that he was looking at a possible challenge.
Little says his client, DeJuan Payne of Stone Mountain, Georgia, is presumed innocent until proven guilty and currently there are only allegations.
Little says it now appears U-T-C's policy is ``to suspend everybody who's been arrested.''
Coach Rodney Allison previously suspended the players for a curfew violation that happened October 21st, the day of the alleged gang rape in a campus apartment.
Chancellor Roger Brown said yesterday the football players were no longer enrolled at U-T-C, pending a student conduct code hearing.
The six athletes were arrested and released on bonds earlier this week.
