COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Missouri dismissed quarterback Maty Mauk from the football program Thursday after a series of missteps that included three suspensions over the past four months.
New coach Barry Odom said he met with Mauk in December and gave him a fresh start. But Missouri suspended Mauk again this week after a brief video was posted to Twitter. It shows a person appearing to snort a white, powder-like substance and the tweet mentions Mauk by name.
Odom said Thursday he believed the video was from "a long time ago," but it was clear Mauk had violated team rules in recent weeks and that was the reason for the dismissal.
