AU was after this guy hard before CTT left. Jailed UGA football player dismissed from team | UGA sports blog Jailed linebacker Montez Robinson has been dismissed from the University of Georgia football team, coach Mark Richt said Sunday evening. The announcement came with Robinson in the Clarke County Jail on a misdemeanor charge of simple battery/family violence. “Montez has not been able to conform to some conditions and stipulations that were placed on him as a result of previous off-field issues,” Richt said in a statement. “I think this decision is in the best interest of everyone.” Richt added that he hopes Robinson will at some point continue his education at another institution. Earlier Sunday afternoon, Clarke County Sheriff’s Sgt. Farrell Johnson said Johnson had turned himself in on a warrant issued Saturday. Johnson said Robinson will remain in jail until a bond hearing, probably Monday. No further information was available Sunday about the circumstances of the charge, Johnson said. According to Sherriff’s Office records, Robinson was booked into the jail at 12:40 p.m. Sunday. Robinson, from Avon, Ind., was a backup defensive end as a freshman last fall but moved to outside linebacker in Georgia’s revamped defense this spring. He previously had been suspended from Georgia’s first two games of the 2010 season as a result of arrests last year for misdemeanor simple battery and second-degree criminal damage. The criminal-damage charge, a felony, was for allegedly breaking the taillights on a female student’s car on campus.
Ashamed to see these young guys lose such an opportunity, but it weren't the first and won't be the last. With the little facts cited from last year, seems like Richt did what he had to do.
I think Richt made the right decision. life is more important than football and the team is also more important than individuals who put themselves before the team. I bet Richt is giving this guy a chance to reform his behavior while removing a huge distraction from the team. Like Trent Johnson with Bo Spencer, I bet Richt is more concerned with this guy's direction in life than with the tackles he would have made. I wish all the coaches in the SEC took the positions that Miles and Richt take. You think Urban Meyer does this ?? Remember Takeo Spikes? The Florida linebacker had to voluntary suspend himself for an additional half, after assaulting another player and committing battery on the opponent by trying to gauge out his eyes in order to give some sort of appearance of rationality. :insane:.
H.Nutt just got rid of a former Ms. Player of the year. For the second time. Paper quoted Nutt as saying his future at OM doesn't look good at all. What is with today's kids. Wear your pants down to show your underwear like no one else owns any. Be proud to go to jail or prison.
