NCAA Rules Dez Bryant Out for Season

Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant will not have his eligibility restored this season, the NCAA announced Tuesday night.

Bryant, a preseason All-American, was suspended four weeks ago by Oklahoma State after the school learned he had lied to the NCAA about a meeting with former NFL star Deion Sanders. The NCAA later ruled him ineligible Oct. 7.

"I made a mistake by not being entirely truthful when meeting with the NCAA," Bryant said in a statement at the time. I sincerely regret my mistake and apologize to my teammates, coaches, OSU fans and the NCAA."

Oklahoma State is appealing the ruling and expects a decision next week.

Bryant's eligibility will be restored by the NCAA next September, though the junior is expected to be among the first wide receivers selected in the NFL Draft.

The NCAA accused Bryant with violating bylaw 10.1, which deals with "unethical conduct," including "knowingly furnishing the NCAA or the individual's institution false or misleading information concerning the individual's involvement in or knowledge of matters relevant to a possible violation of an NCAA regulation."

For the Cowboys, the ruling couldn't come at a worse time. Oklahoma State faces Big 12 South favorite Texas this weekend in Stillwater, Okla.

Bryant caught 17 receptions for 323 yards and four touchdowns in four games this season. He caught 87 passes for 1,480 yards and 19 touchdowns a year ago.

Well, he lied to investigators. There should be a severe penalty for that.

I wonder if this will hurt his stock.

I'd love to see all the division 1 athletes walk off and boycott the NCAA.

There was no underlying wrong doing. 2 games would have been enough.

The NFL needs to take action to keep Deion Sanders in check.

The NCAA is ****ed up, and the result is you get kids that are scarred if they think they potentially inadvertently made mistake.

He did make a mistake whe he lied to the NCAA, but this ruling is ridiculous.

The Chiefs should trade down and draft him. He's a great player.

Wasn't he in there poppn off at the mouth on the whole Crabtree circus as well?

Two games would have absolutely been enough. They're just taking one of the best players out of the game...shooting themselves in the foot.

Yes. The scuttlebutt is, he was the one who gave Crabtree the bad advice to hold out.

Deion "advises" about 20-30 guys is what ive read. Basically he gets bored and its a way for him to keep himself involved in the league.

Keep in mind he is also employed by the NFL Network as well.

Yep, those Okie State receivers have really panned out as of late.

Bryant is a hell of a lot better prospect than Rashaun Woods.

But Reggie Bush took 100's of thousands of dollars.. and didnt get crap like this

dudes a college kid and made a misake, at worst suspend him a few games.

He legally didnt do anything wrong hangin with deion, he just lied about it. There really shouldn't be much done imo, it's bs
