NCAA denies Bryant’s appeal

The National Collegiate Athletic Association released a statement on its Web site regarding the appeal of Oklahoma State receiver Dez Bryant’s one-year suspension from playing football.

“The Division I Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement, an independent membership committee, has upheld the NCAA staff decision regarding Oklahoma State University football student-athlete Desmond Bryant. With this decision, Mr. Bryant will be required to sit out a season while being charged a season of eligibility as a condition for his reinstatement. The student-athlete was declared ineligible by the university for violations of the NCAA ethical conduct and preferential treatment rules.”

OSU coach Mike Gundy issued a statement on the ruling.

“We’re obviously disappointed for Dez,” Gundy said. “As a team, we’ll move forward from here.”

If it weren't for football, guys like this would be flipping burgers... dumb as a bag of hammers.
