Miami brawl results in 31 suspensionsSTAFF AND WIRE REPORTS

After reviewing a sideline-clearing brawl between players from Miami and Florida International, officials from both schools and their conferences on Sunday announced the suspension of 31 players, 13 from the Hurricanes and 18 from FIU.

Each suspended player must sit out the next game for taking part in the ugly melee that marred the team's Saturday matchup. Miami plays at Duke Oct. 21, Florida International plays at Alabama on Oct. 28.

More sanctions are still possible, officials from both schools said Sunday night.

"These suspensions send a clear and definitive message that this type of behavior will not be tolerated," Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner John Swofford said.

The ACC and Miami have suspended Carlos Armour, Chris Barney, James Bryant, Tyrone Byrd, DajLeon Farr, Ryan Hill, Bruce Johnson, Charlie Jones, Brandon Meriweather, Brian Monroe, Derrick Morse, Randy Phillips and Anthony Reddick.

Meanwhile, officials from the Sun Belt Conference and Florida International suspended Michael Alls, Scott Bryant, Roland Clark, Michael Dominquez, John Ellis, Cory Fleming, Reginald Jones, Marshall McDuffie Jr., Robert Mitchell, Quintin Newman, Luis Pena, Jarvis Penerton, Julian Reams, Lionell Singleton, Chris Smith, Samuel Smith, Mannie Wellington and Chandler Williams.
