Daily Mississippian sports reporter Thomas McKee has failed to qualify academically, officials from the university have said.
"People take the term 'student athlete reporter' very seriously these days, and though we're really proud of the progress Thomas has made, he keeps saying stupid things," Associate Athletics Director Karen Schifferl said.
University officials would neither confirm nor deny that McKee's piece in today's edition of The DM claiming that Mississippi State has the second best quarterback corps in the SEC West was the evidence that clinched their determination of his ineligibility.
"This is a private matter, which we know is very sensitive to Thomas' family. No parent wants to discover that his or her child is so ... developmentally challenged in such a public way," Chancellor Robert Khayat reportedly said.
McKee, according to sources, is thinking about transferring to Southern Mississippi where academic requirements for student athlete reporters are not so rigorous, and, also, where, according to McKee, "nobody even knows these quarterbacks' names, so it doesn't [expletive deleted]-ing matter where I rank them."

Mo-Ron.
Wesley Carroll is a monster:
9 TDs
7 INTs
While he has more TDs than INTs, unless state moves Derek Pegues to WR, similar numbers will haunt the anemic MSU offense.
6-3 record overall, 3-2 in the SEC, All Freshman Team QB.....he's not horrible.
He's not horrible, you're correct. But he's not a part of the 2nd best QB corps in the SEC West.
He produced 0 points in their spring game. State may have a good defense but I do not think it is that good. Anyone else surprised Burns is last? That, to me, is almost as surprising as Carroll being second.
Yes, I know it is just the DM...
McKee is a fool.
122, how many freshman QBs did we have in the SEC this year?
For clarification...none of these quotes are real, some people are just dense.
