Colorado player gets probation in off-campus fight

BOULDER, Colo. -- Colorado tight end Riar Greer was sentenced to two years' probation and 50 hours of community service after pleading guilty in an off-campus brawl.

Boulder County District Judge Maria Berkenkotter sentenced Greer on Monday. The 21-year-old Greer avoided a jail term of up to two years.

He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor third-degree assault stemming from a fight on March 14. In exchange, prosecutors dropped charges of felony second-degree assault and misdemeanor harassment.

The university office of judicial affairs ordered Geer to serve another 50 hours of community service. He was suspended from the team for the spring semester but will be allowed to play this fall.
