Me, too.  That's 2!!  Not really attached to the outcome.  Marq just does not need anymore head cases or kids who still don't get the classroom/ tutor part of college.  Even Bo Ellis showed up to school back in my day....
"I went into a restaurant one night and ordered lobster, and the waiter brought me one with a claw missing. He told me that in the back there's a tank they keep the lobsters in and while they're in there, they fight and sometimes one loses a claw. I told him to bring me a winner."  Al McGuire

Tough question. I think we might have seen the last of him but who knows.

I voted for what Strotty said;  he's got better sources than I do.
The shaka sign, sometimes known as "hang loose", is a gesture of friendly intent often associated with Hawaii and surf culture.

I reluctantly select #3. Have a bad feeling that TM has played his last game for MU. Just don't get the feeling that he's mature enough to handle being a college student and playing for Buzz. Hope I'm wrong.

Bocephys

#3, I too assume he's gone.  Stranger things have happened though.

GGGG

Why would be be officially "suspended" if he played his last game?  Why not simply say he is out of school and off the team?  Now you have to go through the news cycle twice.

MUBurrow

I voted for the second one because it looked lonely, and that's as good a reason as anyone has right not to place any vote.

You're right, but then why is he still suspended? What are they deciding?

I don't know WTF is going on with this one. My guess is academics the way Buzz danced around it, but I have no idea. I don't know if Buzz can say "Todd's working on his grades, he'll be back if he does well.".

I'm going with the track record of changing schools.

Groin_pull

Unfortunately, it seems MU is a bit of a revolving door when it comes to player movement. TM is "suspended" now...but I can see where it becomes permanent at some point in the near future.

They may not be deciding anything.  They may just want him to take a break from the program for the rest of the summer.

esotericmindguy

If he transfers, he'll be 23 at the end of his sophomore year.

You could be right, but I don't know. Once his grades are presumably better, I don't know why he would remain suspended. I guess you could say for "punishment", but I don't know if traveling around the world is really punishing him.

Like I said, I have no idea. Never really heard or seen anything like this.

Maybe it's not academic. Whatever. We'll find out the first day of school.

I voted for the third one.

Strotty... with great power comes great responsibility.  Since you'll always be considered an "insider" on MUBB issues (even when you don't want to be), it would be very kind of you if you would qualify your responses - particularly on "100-page thread" topics such as this one - as whether it's pure speculation on your part or not.  Otherwise, some of us are going to get email chains in the next 12 hours saying "Mark Strotman said Todd Mayo is off the team."


That said, I gotta go with Sultan here... granted the quality of athletics' PR is leaving much to be desired on the damage control front, they're not complete morons.  To think that they're going to drag themselves through the wringer twice on one issue assumes complete ineptitude.  If Mayo being gone was a done deal, Buzz would have said so already.

A Buzz suspension could be anything.... indefinite, a month, a semester, a season, or 20 minutes.  Too many people reading way too much into that one word.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

strotty

I don't think any decision has been made, which is why no one is reporting that he is off the team. But putting a few conversations I've had with people together, I don't see him returning. And as I said in an earlier thread regarding Mayo, this is his issue he made and his to fix if he wants to return. Whether it's now too late or not is another story, but Mayo didn't draw a short straw.

OK, I appreciate that response....it gives me a better sense of what might be going on and I guess the ball is still in Mayo's court.

My gut says he's gone. If his suspension is due to poor academics, I fail to see how not being on campus for the 2nd summer session addresses that issue. 

esotericmindguy

He strikes me as a punk, and possible cancer to the team. Lockett has said how impressed he is with how hard everyone is working and he's traveling the globe??? Good riddance.

Not sure where that came from. Never heard anyone call him a cancer. Anyway, the signing of Lockett was the insurance policy on Todd Mayo. He is not coming back imo.
