Oregon Ducks QB Jeremiah Masoli has been suspended by head coach Chip Kelly for the 2010 season following his guilty plea of second degree burglary. Masoli and former Ducks WR Garrett Embry stole two laptops and a guitar from a campus fraternity. Embry had been kicked off the team prior to the theft. Each faces 12 months of probation, 140 hours of community service, and together must pay $5,000 in restitution. The QB will have one season of eligibility remaining for the 2011 season.
Masoli’s crime is the latest in a series of offseason problems for the Ducks, who have kicked four people from the team including Embry, suspended two for the 2010 season including Masoli, and running back LaMichael James will be serving a 1-game suspension during the Ducks first game.
Wow. The Ducks are starting to look like the Miami Hurricanes from the 90’s.
Like Masoli couldn’t just ask for and get a spanking new laptop from some booster or something – although we all know that never happens 😉
