(Photo: Scott Sewell, USA TODAY Sports) Texas football coach Mack Brown announced Friday that two players had been suspended and sent home from the team's trip to the Alamo Bowl following a police investigation into allegations of an early morning sexual assault at a San Antonio hotel. Brown, speaking at a previously scheduled Alamo Bowl news conference, did not name the players and refused to answer questions about the incident or the players, other than to say they had broken team rules. Brown refused Friday to answer whether Texas players had a curfew in San Antonio. The Longhorns play Oregon State on Saturday night. A Texas spokesman did not immediately return a phone call or email. According to a report provided by the San Antonio police, officers were called to a hotel at 2:49 a.m. Friday to respond to a possible sexual assault involving a 21-year old white female. The woman said she had been drinking at a nightclub and had invited the two players back to her hotel room. The officer reported bruising on the accuser's knee and biceps, and she was transported to the hospital. According to the police report, the victim and two players were examined by the same Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) at the Methodist Specialty and Transplant Hospital in San Antonio. Police confirmed the investigation is ongoing, and no charges have been filed as of Friday afternoon. This incident caps a difficult three-year stretch for Texas, which played in the national championship game following the 2009 season but followed with records of 5-7, 8-5 and 8-4, causing some fans to question whether the 61-year old Brown can return the program to elite status.
