He successfully completed not competing for four meets. That doesn't mean he successfully completed the terms of his suspension. He openly admits he failed to hold up his end of the suspension. He just assumed the coaches wouldn't call him on it because they'd failed to do so in the past. Jackson is not blameless for that, but Pat is still an adult and made his own decisions.

So, basically PD screwed up due to his choices, but it is now someone else's fault? Interesting thought process.
Think of it this way, if your girlfriend cheats on you and you take her back every time she probably will be surprised when you finally grow a spine and leave her after the 10th time.
It should if you've been told by the AD and the Head Coach that you will be reinstated after the suspension and will be in the Big 12. AGAIN...comprehend what I wrote. HE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED THE SUSPENSION....NO ADDITIONAL RULES BROKEN!
1. Can't attend practices during the suspension.
2. For the second time, he successfully completed the suspension. No additional rule violations.
3. Other teams are already trying to pick him up. He would have had four additional weeks to accomplish this.
SMH...why would he have asked for one prior to yesterday!? That's a stupid statement.
Dude, you're an idiot. No more peanut gallery ******** from you.
You think he would have gotten picked up by another school, and been allowed to compete by that school THIS SEASON?
Was he really snowboarding with a broken rib? Or bum ankle? Or was that during the suspension? Is he healthy now? Physically, I mean.
FWIW, I'm pretty damn sure the coaches are aware PD3 is a talented wrestler who can win a lot of matches, and skill-wise, probably is the best wrestler in the room.
Athletic programs also have behavioral standards. CHARACTER standards. TEAM standards (i.e., don't talk **** about your teammates or coaches on public platforms).
As the sign in Jack Trice Stadium says, "Honor Before Victory". If PD3 goes D1 next year, he'll likely face an ISU guy at some point and may beat them. He's not being dismissed because of skill, he's apparently being dismissed because he can't follow the standards set for the wrestling team.
Until his twitter rants I had zero clue who he was. I knew Mike Johnson more than your own son if that tells you anything.
This reminds me of when Jameel Mckay thought he was going to play after his 1 game suspension, but Prohm kept on suspending him to prove a point. And credit to Mckay, he seemed to understand things and changed his ways.
Downey didn't rape anybody, he didn't kill anybody, he didn't beat up a girlfriend, he didn't hurt anybody else. He's not a Long or a Marsteller. Nobody is doing anything but experiencing a little schadenfruede at the Downey family's complete and utter lack of self awareness. Nobody is wishing him any ill and I'm sure a lot of us will cheer for him if he fights in MMA. Hopefully he learns from this and figures out that "being able to win matches" isn't enough if he can't keep himself straight otherwise. He's got a lot of talent and it would suck to see that go to waste.
@PD2 for someone that claims we are "snowflakes" you have seemed to raised one of the biggest.
please instill some personal responsibility in your son.
some times things don't work out like you want or are promised, especially if you're an *******.

This thread is almost as golden as PD3's Twitter. Nothing says "Hey, other D1 schools, pick me up!" like filterlessly cussing out people and coaches on social media. But who cares about maturity and personal responsibility, right?
