COLLEGE FOOTBALL DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE NATION : Arizona’s Dice Faces Suspension

Richard Dice, Arizona’s top wide receiver until he injured a knee, faces a one-game suspension after he recovers.

Athletic Director Jim Livengood said the school would comply with the NCAA order to suspend the player, but blamed the situation on an agent.

Livengood notified the NCAA three weeks ago that Dice had accepted a telephone debit card from a “runner” for agent Robert Troy Caron of Oxnard.

A preliminary investigation by the Pac-10 determined that Dice never used the card, and that no impropriety existed. But the NCAA said this week its Legislative Services staff had reinterpreted the rules to make acceptance a violation.
