Something to do with an agent...

I heard it was an involvement with a current NFL player and that he wasn't totally honest with the NCAA concerning the involvement with this player.

Apparently OSU has begun the process for reinstatement. More to come I guess.

(STILLWATER, Okla., Oct. 7, 2009) -- Dez Bryant has been ruled ineligible for a violation of NCAA bylaw 10.1(d).

Oklahoma State University has already begun the process of applying to the NCAA on his behalf for reinstatement.

This incident does not involve anyone associated with the OSU football or athletic department staffs, any employee of the university, alumni, donors, or any third-party affiliated with OSU.

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.”

Due to the ongoing investigation of this matter, OSU has no additional comment at this time.

I sure would like to know the details about this and how bad this interaction somehow made him be ineligible. I wonder if the NCAA is just exercising its tremendous wisdom as usual or did this kid really do something bad?

 
Dez Bryant posted this as his Facebook status:

"This is why I'm suspended.....I went to Deion sanders house ....and the NCAA found out.....they ask me if I been to his house I told them no...I thought it was a violation...but it wasn't... so I told them I went to his house... I lied to ...them and I shouldn't have....and I'm not suspended for the rest of the season....I'm sorry osu!!"

The story I read from someone at OSU was that Bryant went to Deion Sanders' house and then went to work out with him. He lied about it to the NCAA at first, then eventually told the truth, but the NCAA suspended him for the season. Sounds like a pretty lame reason to get suspended for the season, so either there is more to the story or the NCAA is making an example out of him for lying to them.
