Wolverines football coach Brady Hoke has dismissed player Frank Clark from the team.

Clark was arrested and jailed this weekend on suspicion of beating his girlfriend.

Hoke says his decision had nothing to do with increased scrutiny of domestic violence by players at the National Football League.

“I've told our guys since day one that it won't be tolerated,” Hoke said. “ Won't be tolerated in this program.”

Hoke says domestic violence is "tragic," and a national issue, and says more needs to be done to stop it.
