ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michigan won’t have to forfeit any football games for using an ineligible freshman player.

Michigan last month reported an administrative error involving safety Artis Chambers to the Big Ten. Chambers played in three games, including a 14-9 victory over Penn State, but wasn’t eligible under the conference’s freshman rules.

He will keep his athletic scholarship and can continue practicing with the team, but he will miss the rest of the season, the university said Thursday. The conference said Michigan (3-2 overall, 2-0 Big Ten) will not have to forfeit games.

Athletic director Bill Martin previously said he could not talk about Chambers’ case because of privacy laws. Coach Lloyd Carr has declined comment.
