North Carolina cornerbacks M.J. Stewart and Mike Hughes have been indefinitely suspended from the program after being charged with misdemeanor assault.
The charges stem from an incident outside a campus fraternity house in the early morning hours of Oct. 4.
Stewart, a sophomore starter, was charged with assault and battery. Hughes, a freshman reserve, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon/inflicting serious injury.
The suspensions were termed as being for a violation of team rules.
"We have been aware of this situation since the night of the altercation and have been working closely with the University and Chapel Hill Police to gather relevant information," coach Larry Fedora said in a statement. "We hold our players to a high standard, and M.J. and Mike will face the consequences for their involvement."
Stewart leads the Tar Heels with three interceptions.
