When Minnesota's competition at running back resumes this spring, Kevin Whaley won't be a part of it.

Whaley asked for his release from the team, which obliged on Wednesday. Minnesota said in a news release that Whaley had been indefinitely suspended for violating team rules following the team's loss to Iowa State in the Insight Bowl.

Whaley was arrested and charged with assault following an incident at a Scottsdale, Ariz., nightclub early on New Year's Day. Scottsdale police said Whaley attacked two security guards at the club while being escorted out after disturbing female patrons. Whaley, 21, was released after being charged.

The New Year's incident wasn't Whaley's first brush with trouble at a nightclub. He sat out his first year at Minnesota after being shot in the leg outside a nightclub in Virginia. He also was arrested for assault outside a Minneapolis nightclub in 2008.
