Northwestern suspends Cobb for season

Northwestern junior guard JerShon Cobb has been suspended for the 2012-13 season for violating team policy. The 6-foot-5 Cobb averaged 7.1 points in 21 games last season and 7.4 points as a freshman in 27 games. He started 33 games the last two seasons.

According to this release on NUsports.com, Cobb remains enrolled at the school and has two more seasons of eligibility.

"There are standards that each student-athlete is expected to uphold," Northwestern head men's basketball coach Bill Carmody said. "JerShon has our complete support as he works to fulfill those expectations and we look forward to having him rejoin the program in a full capacity in the future."
