This issue has obviously been getting a lot of attention on a Mizzou message board of which I'm a member, and not surprisingly, there is little objectivity, so I'm curious what those of you post here think.

I'm not sure how much any of you would have followed this story, but here's a quick summary:

- On National Signing Day 2012, with much fanfare, including a nationally televised audience on ESPNU, then #1 high school recruit, Dorial Green-Beckham chooses Missouri over a host of other major college programs. 
- During his freshman season, DGB is arrested for smoking marijuana in a vehicle on the football stadium parking lot. He's with 3 other players, two of whom are immediately dismissed from the team. DGB pleads guilty to a misdemeanor charge of trespassing. He is suspended for 1 game.
- During the 2013 season, DGB leads the receiving corps in TDs, sets a school record for TD receptions in a single game and is dominant in the SEC championship game Mizzou eventually loses. He is named 2nd team All-SEC.
- Shortly after the team's Cotton Bowl victory, DGB is arrested in a car with 2 other men. All three are arrested for possession with intent to distribute marijuana after a pound of marijuana, scales and baggies are found in the car. DGB has not been charged, and isn't expected to be charged as one of the men has apparently admitted the drugs and paraphernalia was his. 
- Last Saturday, DGB was involved in an incident involving an alleged assault of his girlfriend and another young woman. DGB was not arrested. On Thursday it was announced that DGB would not be charged with a crime; however the police report of the incident was released to the public. Per the report, DGB came an apartment where his girlfriend was at (not her apartment). He knocked, but the resident who answered wouldn't let him in. Per the report, DGB pushed his way in the apartment, pushing the door knob through the apartment drywall and shoved the 18 year old female resident down a small flight of stairs. Though his girlfriend later denied it, according to texts the girlfriend sent to the other victim, DGB drug the girlfriend out of the apartment by her neck. The day after the incident, the girlfriend sent a series of texts in which she pleaded with the other victim to recant her story and decline to prosecute in order to save DGB's standing on the team. In one of the texts, the girlfriend states something to the effect that "it's bad enough he's hurt me, but now he's hurting my friends too," suggesting a pattern of abuse. The other victim eventually did refuse to prosecute, telling the police she feared media and student backlash because of who DGB was.
- On Friday, DGB's adoptive father released a statement in which DGB accepted responsibility and claimed he was seeking counseling.
- About an hour after the DGB statement, the team announced DGB was dismissed from the program.

Personally, I think Coach Pinkel and the University made the right call. This guy was a ticking time bomb, and I don't care how talented a football player he may be, I don't want him associated with the school I root for. For the past 24 hours I've been reading a number of posts, many of which think the decision was unfair since he wasn't arrested or charged and some of which seem to say "so what, if he makes the team better, who cares." In fairness, there have also been several people who agree with Pinkel's decision.

With the exception of TK, none of you guys care about Mizzou sports. What do you think?  Would you want this guy on your team?
