The University of Maryland released a statement following the arrests:
"We are aware of the situation and take these matters very seriously. The two student-athletes involved have been suspended indefinitely for violating the student-athlete code of conduct. This matter has also been referred to the Office of Student Conduct for further review."
Both players were suspended for last week's game over Ohio State, and they have been suspended indefinitely.
