Dez Bryant, Oklahoma State’s all-American wide receiver, was declared ineligible by the university Wednesday for failing to fully disclose to the N.C.A.A details of contact he had with the former N.F.L. player Deion Sanders.

What's up with Deion and all these college receivers? First, he said on like Sunday that Crabtree will be signed by Wed and now we hear he's been working out with Dez Bryant? lol

I smell something fishy...

He does a lot of mentoring for college athletes I know that much.

This is getting a little ridiculous...how is it against any rules for a player with no known current association to any other college or NFL team to hang out with a player, train with a player, or eat lunch with a player? Deion should be able to buy the damn kid lunch! Maybe if they allowed NFL players with some integrity (Deion is a showman but was never a bad person and never got in much trouble) to mentor players before they actually made a boatload of money and had to learn from their mistakes, these players didnt make the mistakes in the first place.

Its not that he hung out with Deion its that he lied about the extent to which he did. That's what got him suspended.

NCAA overreacting.

Bryant shouldn't of lied though either. I could see a game or two suspension but a whole season is crazy. This won't hurt his stock though, imo.
