Western Kentucky confirmed Saturday that rising junior running back Quinton Baker is no longer a member of the football team.
"Due to consistent violation of team rules, running back Quinton Baker is no longer a member of the WKU Football program and was removed from the team's roster on Friday," the school announced in a statement Saturday.
Baker posted a letter-of-release from WKU on Twitter on Saturday that granted permission to other schools to discuss his potential transfer. A list of schools WKU did not grant permission to talk to Baker included all Conference USA programs and all nonconference opponents the Hilltoppers are scheduled to play in 2018.
