NOTRE DAME, Ind. — The 2010 Notre Dame football MVP, Michael Floyd, has been suspended indefinitely by coach Brian Kelly the school announced Monday afternoon.

Floyd, who decided to return for his senior year back in January, was arrested by campus police early Sunday morning and eventually charged with one count of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, a class A misdemeanor by the St. Joseph County Prosecutor.

Floyd, 21, failed several sobriety tests and recorded a blood-alcohol level of .19. the legal limit in Indiana is .05. Floyd is scheduled to appear in court on May 2.

Kelly informed Floyd of his decision to suspend him from all football-related activities and the standout wide receiver said he has accepted that decision.

“I’ve spoken to Michael Floyd and his mother and, in light of what took place this past weekend, I let him know he has been suspended indefinitely from football team-related activities,” Kelly said in a statement released Monday afternoon by the university.

“Football needs to take a backseat at the moment while Michael gets his life in order, and while I don’t know when Michael will be reinstated, it will not happen until Michael demonstrates he has successfully modified his behavior and the legal and university disciplinary matters have run their respective courses. What’s most important right now is Michael focusing on maturing and developing more as a person while working to improve his decision-making processes.”

This is Floyd’s second offense. He was arrested in his hometown of Minneapolis, Minn. just over a year ago. Floyd’s future with the Fighting Irish football program is now in the hands of the school’s Office of Residence Life. The football program will not have a say in whether or not he is suspended for a game or for the entire season.

In a similar case involving Notre Dame tight end Will Yeatman in 2008, the Office of Residence Life suspended him for an entire season after his second alcohol-related offense.

Floyd also released a statement through the university of Monday.

“First of all, I want to apologize to my family, friends, teammates, coaches, the University and the extended Notre Dame family for my behavior this weekend,” he said. “I understand the gravity of the decision I made and how it could have had catastrophic effects on myself and others.

“I’ve talked to coach Kelly and I accept the decision he made. I absolutely recognize that I have many things to work on to become a better person and will need to regain the trust of all whom I have hurt within my immediate family and the Notre Dame family. I fully intend to spend the immediate future improving myself to become a better member of our community.”

Floyd, who bypassed the 2011 National Football League Draft in April to return for his last year at Notre Dame, could take part in the supplemental draft, if one is held. The NFL is currently locked in a labor dispute, which has prompted the owners to lock out the players.
