Oregon QB Masoli suspended for entire 2010 season

NCAA Football Betting Lines

03/12/2010 - Eugene, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Oregon Ducks quarterback Jeremiah Masoli was suspended for the entire 2010 season after pleading guilty to charges of second-degree burglary on Friday.

Ducks head coach Chip Kelly made the announcement at a press conference after Masoli's court appearance. In addition, he suspended running back LaMichael James and kicker Rob Beard for a minimum of one game apiece after the pair pleaded guilty to harassment in separate incidents.

Masoli, along with teammate Garrett Embry, both admitted to the crimes and were given 12 months probation, 140 hours of community service within eight months and a fine of $5,200 in shared restitution in the following 10 days plus a $100 bench-probation fee, according to the Oregonian.

"I am extremely disappointed anytime any of our players fall short of our expectations that have been clearly outlined for them in advance on numerous occasions," Kelly said. "This is especially true regarding their roles within the community. Their accountability for their actions is paramount, and any tainting of the reputation of the University of Oregon and this football program will not be tolerated."

Both players were accused of stealing two laptops and a guitar from a campus fraternity house in late January. Embry's status on the team was not immediately known.

James was sentenced to 24 months probation and 10 days in jail after agreeing to a plea bargain that dropped four other charges. He has already served two days of his prison sentence. The one-time Pac-10 Freshman of the Year ranked ninth in the country in 2009 with 1,546 rushing yards while adding 14 touchdowns.

Masoli is coming off a terrific season in leading the Ducks to the Rose Bowl, as he threw for 2,147 yards and 15 touchdowns while rushing for 668 yards and 13 scores. The rising senior will be eligible to return in 2011, as the team will utilize a redshirt year.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
