Mark (Dirty) Sanchez

Prosecutors decided Friday not to file charges against Southern California quarterback Mark Sanchez, who had been accused of sexually assaulting another USC student.

Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Richard Tacklander, who reviewed the case, concluded there was "a lack of sufficient evidence beyond a reasonable doubt."

"From the outset of this investigation, I've been confident that the facts would come to light and that investigators would confirm that I was innocent of the allegations against me," Sanchez said in a statement issued by the university.

Cooter out on DUI

Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer suspended reserve quarterback Jim Bob Cooter indefinitely Monday for violating team rules after campus police arrested him for drunken driving.

"Jim Bob has let the team down and embarrassed himself and his family by his actions. He has benefited greatly by being part of the Tennessee family, and with that comes great responsibility for his actions," Fulmer said in a statement.

Cooter, 21, was stopped about 3:25 a.m. Saturday after campus officers noticed him drive a black Ford sport utility vehicle through a stop sign and weave across the centerline several times, according to a campus police report.
