  Colorado receiver La'Vontae Shenault has been suspended for a violation of athletic department policy and will not play in the Valero Alamo Bowl on Tuesday against Texas. Shenault was in Jacksonville, Fla., on Sunday to watch his brother - former CU and current Jacksonville Jaguars star Laviska Shenault - play against the Chicago Bears. "He was suspended for a violation of our department policy; not just football, but just athletics in general," CU head coach Karl Dorrell said Monday. "When you're ineligible for that suspension, you're not allowed to come to the bowl." Dorrell said Shenault was with the team through last Wednesday. CU traveled to San Antonio on Saturday. Despite playing in only four games for the Buffs (4-1), Shenault leads the team with 17 receptions and he's second with 193 receiving yards. - Daily Camera

  Former NFL quarterback Tarvaris Jackson has died in a one-car crash outside Montgomery, authorities said Monday. He was 36. The 2012 Chevrolet Camaro that Jackson was driving went off the road, struck a tree and overturned at 8:50 p.m. Sunday, Trooper Benjamin "Michael" Carswell, an Alabama Law Enforcement Agency spokesman, said in a news release. Jackson was pronounced dead at a hospital. The wreck occurred on Pike Road, about seven miles south of Montgomery, his hometown. No other details were immediately released about the crash, which remained under investigation. Jackson was hired as quarterbacks coach for Tennessee State last season after a 10-year NFL career with the Seattle Seahawks, Minnesota Vikings and Buffalo Bills.

Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson also posted about Jackson’s death: "TJack... you will be missed. Praying for your family...Love you man." - AP College Football
