How many of you have ever been kicked off your college team?

I was, for 2 weeks.

I was once for a week.

What for?

me, for pooping in the steeple pit

I was kicked off and not allowed to return, mostly because I was a dick to everybody, including the coaching staff.

AJ Acosta was for providing alcohol to Luke P. Reinstated later.

I was, and I was state champ. Had a full ride as well. Kicked off never to return.

I was for shanking a teammate's pants....

My track coach cussed me out once under his breath in front of several hundred people and said he should have kicked me off the team when he had the chance. This was immediately after a race in which I beat his son (who I was friends with). I had been a slight pain in the butt that season, but nothing that warranted what he gave me. It was funny because even though no one else heard what was said, they all saw it and assumed he was bitching me out for winning, so I came out smelling like a rose.

have you ever been kicked in the balls?

Making someone cry

I was kicked off of my college team back in '02 because my coach was a raging hypocrite.

Yes I am ashamed to say I was kicked off my team as a freshman during track season. I was on a decent scholarship (tuition paid for) at a d1 University.

Senior year (HS) I finally overcame some lingering injuries and managed to pull off what I thought was an impressive track season (managed to run a 4:13 mile)..fast forward to freshmen xc...placed 5th on a team that barley squeezed a birth to nationals..only true freshman...I was riding high after returning to campus..coach recommended we take some down time after nats..this is where everything went down hall..

I started hanging out with some shady people on my floor...started smoking like crazy..going through an 8th or so every couple days (not a lot to some of you, but at the time it was for me)...def started drinking more...fast forward to start of outdoor...all my motivation was shot...always high..grades were shit at the time..coach had been on my ass for months now...the straw that broke the camels back was coming a very important team meeting 30 minutes late reeding like weed..coach went off....

long story short: got kicked off..never returned

poor thing. got anymore to add to that?

you sound like michael cybulisk. that guy was like 8:4x 2 miler and then quits after 1st year in college.

yeS. Three times. Turned down the last offer back on the team and transferred out.

no, but these ancedotes remind me of a Freshmen basketball team story of mine. We were piling into our Van on the way to a b-ball game, when I realized there wasn't going to be enough seatbelts for everyone. Since I was the last one in, I politely told my coach that I had to have a seatbelt, or else I couldn't go to the game. He wanted to play hard ball with me, so he said, "okay" like he didn't mind if I couldn't go. I was sincerely going to leave, but luckily we managed to workout an arrangment - another boy and I sat inside one seatbelt. It was slightly awkward, but worth it.
