N. Iowa Player kicked off team

[Griz2k]

Interesting....

Parsons booted from UNI football team
Cedar Falls, IA (Sports Network) - Northern Iowa starting safety Chris Parsons has been dismissed from the football team for a violation of team rules.

Parsons started all eight games this season for the top-ranked Panthers, recording 29 tackles and three interceptions.

Parsons was a preseason All-American on the Sports Network team, and also earned second team all-Gateway Conference honors last season. As a three-year starter for UNI, Parsons registered 11 interceptions and 192 tackles.

Junior Nick Nelson is listed second to Parsons on the depth chart, though Panthers head coach Mark Farley did not comment on who will take his place.

Northern Iowa (8-0) has been ranked No. 1 for three weeks in the Sports Network FCS Top-25 poll and seeks to clinch at least a share of the conference title Saturday at Missouri State.

From the Panther Nation meassage board...

I have a pretty good idea of why he got kicked off the team....

I have a very reliable source saying that he was forging a doctors signature at a local pharmacy to get perscription pills.

Very disappointing....and sad

Reported by Garrett Lumpkin

Four McNeese football players were not on the team buses leaving for Stephen F. Austin Friday November 2nd.

All four of the players are suspended for Saturday's game and will be re-evaluated next week.
According to Sheriff Tony Mancuso, junior strong safety Josh Quayhagen was involved in a fight that took place at OB's Wednesday night and he was the only Cowboy football player to be arrested.

Allegedly Quayhagen was tasered by authorities when he attempted to flee the scene and was arrested on two charges of second degree battery and one charge of resisting arrest.

The names of the three other MSU football players that were involved have not been released.
McNeese head coach Matt Viator would not comment on camera about the incident.
Viator acknowledged that some of his players would not be making the trip but did not specify who the players were.

Viator said he would comment about the situation Saturday after the game with Stephen F. Austin.
