Alabama DE Dareus to remain sidelined against Penn State
NCAA Football Betting Lines
09/06/2010 - Tuscaloosa, AL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Alabama head football coach Nick Saban stated on Monday the suspension for defensive end Marcell Dareus will not be appealed.
Saban stated last week the school planned on appealing the two-game ban, but changed his tune two days after Dareus sat out the reigning national champion's 48-3 rout of San Jose State.
"I said that we would appeal, but when I say things like that we have to have precedent to appeal, precedent being some other case or some other circumstance relative to how penalties are granted," Saban explained. "We don't really feel like we have a good precedent. We feel like, relative to the circumstance, this was pretty fair. There were some other cases that we were looking at, but we really don't have precedent to do it (appeal the NCAA's decision).
The governing body previously banned Dareus for two games due to his dealings with sports agents.
In its ruling, the NCAA said Dareus must repay benefits to become eligible again. Those benefits amount to $1,787.17, which will go to a charity of his choice.
Dareus led the SEC in sacks with 6 1/2 as a sophomore in 2009. He added 33 tackles, nine for a loss, and one interception in 14 games for the national champion and current No. 1 ranked Crimson Tide.
The NCAA said the case submitted by Alabama shows Dareus accepted benefits that included airfare, lodging, meals and transportation during two trips to Miami. The NCAA said Dareus could have been suspended four games, but "based on the mitigating circumstances in the case" reduced the penalty to two contests.
Dareus will miss the Crimson Tide's contest against No. 19 Penn State on Saturday.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
