University: because this is academic, we will have nothing further to say. Text me later and I'll tell you what's up. Off the record.

Yeah, sorry...Don't believe that shite for a second.

Somebody come up with just one good reason the school has to lie about it?

Not just is their not a good reason to lie about it but their are about a million good reasons ($$$$) why they didn't lie about it.

I think he was probably kicked off but Wes is just trying to make KA look bad.

Well I would assume he's pretty embarrassed either way. We've got to be one of the few P5 schools in the country who would kick off the teams best player in mid season for grades. UNC would just have a Jessica Alba type take the test for you. One thing I will say is KA is battling some serious uphill stuff recruiting players to the ZOU right now. Some of it might be his fault, but I'm of the opinion that most of it isn't. I still don't like his rotations, but I'm hoping maybe he is just trying to see what he's got in his players for the future. I always thought of Clark as having his head on straight, but that was purely from a bball standpoint.

Clark was a problem child, that's before his on the court efficiency issues. Mizzou won't look back.

Everyone who leaves is a problem child.

Everyone who stays is awesome.
Until they leave.

The timing of this is very peculiar. Thats all I know about it. Mid-semester academic related issues are extremely rare to be kicked/quit.

Not going to make accusations one way or the other, but I just hope the APR is ok.

Yeah. It's not grades. And based on the rumors out of CoMo, it's not cheating. The only thing really left is attendance (and really attendance combined with attitude). I don't think they kick him at this point in the semester based on going to class. It had to be exacerbated by something with the program in general.

I barely went to some of my classes and they didn't pull my scholarship. Some classes need skipping.

Who knows what was in the contract that he signed prior to the semester. His major in general studies isn't it? If so that a joke major anyways, hard to fail those classes.
