[edit] College
Following a season-ending injury to starting guard Eric Devendorf on December 15, 2007, Jardine was promoted to the starting lineup on December 18, 2007 against Colgate. He would start nine games -- including a career high 18 points against Northeastern on December 30, 2007 -- before being removed from the lineup after he was suspended for the January 27, 2008 game against Providence.[1] Jardine was suspended after it was alleged that he knew that a stolen student identification card was being used to order more than $100 worth of food. Jardine didn't eat any of the food but helped carry it in when it was delivered to his apartment on Jan. 13 2008, then tried to cover up his involvement. Jardine's cousin, Robert Washington was charged in the case.[2][3] Jardine returned to the lineup on February 2, 2008 against Villanova, but Jardine had lost his starting spot to Kristof Ongenaet.[4]
