Drexel suspends accused robbers from team

The hits just keep on coming for Jamie Harris and Kevin Phillip, the Drexel University basketball players charged Monday with robbing a female student at gunpoint last week.

This is a bit belated, folks, but here it is nonetheless:

The hits just keep on coming for Jamie Harris and Kevin Phillip, the Drexel University basketball players charged Monday with robbing a female student at gunpoint last week.
Harris, a starting point guard, and Phillip, a backup forward, were indefinitely suspended today from the Dragons, Drexel officials said in a statement on the team's Web site.
The university has also imposed an interim academic suspension on the pair, who were both on full scholarships and majoring in general humanities and social sciences.
Harris and Phillip, both 21, are charged with burglary, robbery, weapons violations and related offenses for the ham-fisted heist they allegedly participated in July 21.
They each posted $5,000 bail today, according to court records.
"We are disappointed by these allegations," said Dragons coach James "Bruiser" Flint. "Should these allegations prove to be true, we find this behavior to be unacceptable and inconsistent with our program's values and mission." Another Drexel student, Devon Bond, 21, was also charged in connection with the case.
