University of Missouri QB Maty Mauk has been cut from the football team ... for his behavior in recent weeks ... and not specifically because of a video that appeared to show him blowing a line of coke.
Mizzou coach Barry Odom issued a statement saying, "I met with Maty Mauk this morning and informed him of my decision to permanently dismiss him from the football program."
"After gathering information and speaking with a number of individuals this week, it is clear Maty has failed to live up to those expectations by violating team rules in recent weeks.
