    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">STORRS, Conn. -- Connecticut suspended guard A.J. Price for the entire 2005-06 season as a result of his arrest on charges of trying to sell stolen laptops this summer, but has allowed co-defendant Marcus Williams to return to the team in December.

    University officials announced the school-imposed sanctions on Friday.

    Under the penalties handed down by the university's director of judicial affairs, the two point guards have been kicked out of campus housing and dining halls -- Price for three years and Williams until next August.

    They also have been suspended for the 2005-06 academic year, but those suspensions were held in abeyance, meaning they can attend classes but could be expelled if they fail to meet several conditions. Price, a redshirt freshman, will return to classes in the spring semester, while Williams has been attending classes this semester.

    Williams, a junior guard, can rejoin the team on Dec. 17 and will be available for the Jan. 3 game at Marquette.</div>

    Was A.J. Price the main guy, or did they both do the same, cuz I noticed Price has gotten way more penaltys.

    Exactly,if they are as equally guilty as each other,then that is unfair to Price.It seems that were both in it on an equal basis,i hope it wasnt like that because AJ's are way more stiff than Marcus Williams's penalties.

    I think the fact the laptops were in AJ Price's room gave the school a reason to give him a stiffer punishment. The interesting factor will be the academic performance of these two. If they don't meet the criteria they will be expelled from the school. Marcus Williams has already been suspended for failing academically, so he's not out of the woods just yet.

    Well I'm glad that Marcus Williams is going to come back this, although it is in December it isn't that bad compared to AJ Price.
