Alabama DE Marcell Dareus Declared Ineligible

Alabama Crimson Tide defensive end Marcell Dareus has reportedly been declared ineligible in the wake of alleged improper dealings with sports agents.

According to the Tuscaloosa News, it is standard for a player to be declared ineligible immediately after a question arises of whether or not a player violated NCAA rules. Dareus has been connected with what is quickly becoming an infamous trip to Miami with several other college football players that may or may not have been sponsored by an agent.

Alabama has announced it is conducting an investigation into whether Dareus paid his own expenses for the trip. Student-athletes are not permitted to accept any form of gifts from agents under NCAA rules.

The NCAA will apparently decide — at an unknown time — whether or not Dareus will be reinstated and eligible to play for the team in the fall.

Dareus led the SEC in sacks with 6 1/2 as a sophomore in 2009. He added 33 tackles, nine for a loss, and one interception in 14 games for the national champion Crimson Tide.
