For how long?

Never stop recruiting.

being a 22-23 year old sophomore he should know better than that. Really let his team down. No way he will be back next year.

[fanofTR]

Absolute killer. Really dampers the expectations on this season to be honest. He was going to be such a big part to the team this season. Vander really has to step up the on the offensive side of the ball now

[esotericmindguy]

Starting to wonder why he's even on the team.

[Canned Goods n Ammo]

Could he be eligible second semester?

He still has about 6 weeks to pull his grades up before the 1st semester is over.

[MikeyT42]

Curious to know if he was suspended by the NCAA or the administration.

I don't think the NCAA can suspend a player mid semester for poor performance.

For how long?

Indefinite.  However one would think that if he gets his grades together by the end of the semester that he could be brought back then.  From what I have been told is that he really doesn't know what it is like to "be a student."  How to study...do homework...take notes, etc.

Well if he can't play or practice he really isn't.

I think this happens to a lot of college students (not just athletes). We all knew guys like this when we were frosh., remember? They were only around for about a year.

For basketball players however, usually the structure (required attendance, study hall, tutors, etc.) helps players learn to be ok students.

I hope the light bulb goes on for Todd, for his sake.

Sounds like a case of someone ignoring the very short leash given to him.

[wojosdojo]

Can there ever be a time where there isn't something wrong or someone out?!?!?!

Can kiss whatever good will we had with hunt after he ran that piece about mayo being a new guy after the summer

Why?  Not Hunt's fault.  He reported what Mayo said and maybe Mayo snowed him.

Some* of the posts in this thread are an absolute disgrace.  I assume most posting here are grown men, who are just trashing a kid who has academic struggles.  Let's just treat the kid like a piece of meat....hey....he can't play basketball so to hell with him...??  Never judge another man till you have walked a day in his shoes.  The kid went to 5 or 6 different high schools - pretty sure many posting here weren't raised in such a way.

This is very unfortunate, and will hurt the team....but to turn your back on the kid...and post in a hateful way is really, not the Cura Personalis MU teaches.

Completely agree.  (But he went to three high schools and a prep....)

[mr.MUskie]

Really sorry to hear this, for the team and for Todd.

[GoldenZebra]

Im more disappointed with the fact that Todd somehow slipped through, I wish that he did not have to get to this point. I could care less about the impact for basketball, I just hate to see someone struggle like this...especially since I had academic issues of my own adjusting to Marquette as a freshman. Basketball wise, I am not worried...Jamil, Junior, Davante, Vander, Chris, and Trent are all great players, and they will help us succeed.

Perfectly said.

A number of us were talking about this earlier this year.  None of you should be surprised, despite the spin coming out of the athletic department.

Mayo had questionable academics when he was recruited.  Hopefully he takes this setback and turns in into a motivator.

Agreed, not a huge surprise, but it's definitely disappointing.

This makes us seem a lot thinner than I originally thought.
