Venric Mark: Suspended For Northwestern's First Two Games

Mark has been suspended for the first two games of the season for a violation of team policy.

Analysis:

Mark accepted the suspension without protest. "I made a mistake and am prepared to deal with the consequences of that," said Mark. "There's no one that holds me to a higher standard than the one I hold myself to, so nobody is more disappointed than I am. First and foremost, I feel like I let my teammates down, and that feels the worst. I'm grateful to have another season to compete with this team. My focus moving forward is on working as hard as I can in camp and supporting my teammates in practice and on gamedays so that we can achieve our goals this season."
