Basketball yet to be determined.
-------
NORMAL — Bryant Allen, the former University of Minnesota two-sport athlete who transferred to Illinois State in the spring, will not play football for the Redbirds.
“He didn’t meet academic obligations so we dismissed him from the team,” ISU football coach Brock Spack said Thursday.
When asked if the door is open for the wide receiver to rejoin the team if he improves his academic standing, Spack said, “No.”
Allen participated in spring football practice with the Redbirds. He had planned to join the ISU basketball team after the completion of football season. Allen’s status with the Redbird basketball team has yet to be determined, according to associate athletics director Todd Kober.
ISU basketball coach Tim Jankovich is in Canada on an exhibition tour with his team and was unavailable for comment.
