ESPN.com's Heather Dinich is reporting that five Florida State players will not play in the Seminoles' homecoming game against Boston College this weekend.
Taiwan Easterling, Bert Reed, Corey Surrency, Cameron Wade and Richard Goodman have been suspended by FSU head coach Bobby Bowden.
The five players were allegedly involved in a fight at the University's student union on Wednesday. Bowden suspended the players based on information he had gathered, not the police report.
The fight which police responded to a little after noon, was between the football players and members of the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity, police reported.
All five of the suspended players are wide receivers. Easterling, Reed and Surrency have combined for 51 catches, 722 yards and eight touchdowns this season. Wade has one catch while Goodman has not played this season.
Reed and Surrency were both suspended once previously this season by Bowden.
The suspensions come at a bad time for the Seminoles (7-2, 4-2) as they prepare to play Boston College (6-3, 2-3) on Saturday in a game that will go a long way in determining which team plays for the ACC title on Dec. 6.
Currently, Florida State is tied with Wake Forest for the lead in the Atlantic division.
