Monmouth University has been suspended four players indefinitely for academic reasons.

Coach Dave Calloway announced Tuesday that four of his players -- juniors Will Campbell, Gary Cox and Matt Pritchett, and freshman Jordan Davis have been suspended.

"The university holds its student-athletes to higher academic standards than the NCAA," Calloway said. "The Monmouth Athletics Department has a strong graduation rate across the board for good reason, and that is due to academic support services we have in place.

"This is part of the learning process for each of them. It is more important that they learn from this experience and graduate from Monmouth University rather than play basketball at the present time. We will continue to work with these students to make sure they complete their degree requirements."

Campbell is the second-leading scorer on the team with an 8.6 average.
