Dez Bryant ineligible for the rest of season
October 7th, 2009 by Vince Mullins
Dallas Morning News reports that the school has ruled Oklahoma State WR Dez Bryant ineligible for the rest of the season based on NCAA offense of bylaws:
OSU is taking this step because Bryant failed to openly disclose to the NCAA the full details of his interaction with a former NFL player not affiliated with OSU.
The University issued the following statement from Bryant: “I made a mistake by not being entirely truthful when meeting with the NCAA. I sincerely regret my mistake and apologize to my teammates, coaches, OSU fans and the NCAA.”
OSU coach Mike Gundy said: “We are certainly disappointed, but we are moving forward as we would with any challenge during the season.”
ESPN says it was an interaction with a former NFL player. In this season of injuries and suspensions to many Top 5 fantasy college football performers, this only adds to the challenges of fielding a superstar roster. It will be very interesting to see who steps up at wideout as Bryant produced most of the passing results.
