no he wasnt, the head of the committee even said so

Yes, he was dismissed from the team for the laptop theft incident.
umm...no he wasnt. Your coach at the time tried to convince him not to transfer.
On November 21, 2008, police arrested Newton for stealing a laptop computer from a student at the University of Florida. He was subsequently temporarily suspended by the team after the laptop was in fact found to be in his possession. Investigators tracked the stolen laptop to the athlete. Newton tossed the computer out his dorm window in an attempt to hide it from the Police. (A friend scooped up the laptop and hid it behind a dumpster at a nearby school building). Newton was suspended indefinitely and announced his intention to transfer three days before Florida's national championship win over Oklahoma. All criminal charges against Newton were dropped after he completed a court-approved pretrial diversion program. Foxsports.com reported that Newton left the University of Florida after the fall semester in 2008 rather than face suspension or expulsion in part because of three instances of academic cheating.
So....what else do you think you know?

Okay, so he was suspended, that is known. You stated he was dismissed, which he wasnt. Your coach tried to convince him to remain on the team. But I guess according to you he was dismissed.
The head of the panel said he would not have been expelled and the instances were all rumors and never confirmed. But please continue to tell us what you think you know, despite facts and all.
