Oh, those zany Colorado Buffaloes and their madcap antics.
The same week that found one wide receiver likely lost for the 2010 season due to academic issues and another officially leaving the program following legal issues and having his scholarship stripped -- oh, and a former five-star running back apparently finding a home at South Florida -- has seen another player ticketed for pilfering a bicycle.
According to the Boulder Daily Camera, defensive tackle Joe Silipo was ticketed early Wednesday on two counts of suspicion of theft of less than $500 and one count of criminal mischief.
Following the incident, head coach Dan Hawkins suspended the senior from all of the team’s summer activities.
"[Silipo’s actions are] not consistent with his past behavior, and I don’t think he will have further issues,” Hawkins said in a statement.
“But we must send the message that this type of behavior is not tolerated and will lead to separation from the program among other consequences and that both positive and negative behaviors reflect on the entire university community.”
