Curtis Pulley has been given the boot by the Kentucky football team. Pulley had been in running for the top quarterback at the school, but two recent arrests have ended that dream.
Pulley was first arrested in Hardin County on driving charges. He was later arrested in June in Louisville for possession of marijuana.
Curtis Pulley and Mike Hartline had been competing for the starting quarterback job.
It's now thought that Will Fidler has moved up on the depth chart. Unfortunately for Fidler, he too was recently arrested for disorderly conduct.
Pulley's dismissal was mentioned by coach Rich Brooks as part of his weekly press conference. He simply said the Pulley was removed from the team for breaking team rules.
"There is basically a little more as I delved into it than I was aware of at the time," Brooks said.
"I'm in the business of taking a young man and building him into a responsible young man, and obviously I feel like I've failed in this situation," Brooks said. "Sometimes for the better good of the whole, some parts have to be sacrificed."
