Missouri has indefinitely suspended star wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham for a violation of team policies. Green-Beckham is currently tied to a police investigation that is ongoing. He has not been arrested but is being questioned by police according to various reports.
“It’s unfortunate, but it’s the right thing to do for our football program, for the athletic department, and also for Dorial,” said head coach Gary Pinkel in a statement released by the university. “We have high standards related to the expectations that come along with being a Missouri Tiger, and Dorial has not met those recently. Representing Mizzou and our fans is a privilege, and we’ll work with him during this process. It’s been disappointing to have this, and other issues which have taken place lately. It’s frustrating, because we work very hard to instill responsibility and discipline in our young men so that our program represents Mizzou the right way.”
Green-Beckham has been suspended twice before by the university. Each of those instances was for drug related incidents. There is no word on just what police are investigating Green-Beckham for at this time.
For now, the legal process will be allowed to play out before any further decisions related to Green-Beckham’s status with the team, and perhaps the university, are determined.
