At the end of October it was announced he had been suspended for 2 weeks and today a full dismissal from the program.  

Below is the press release from VirginiaSports …

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - Redshirt junior forward Austin Nichols (Collierville, Tenn.) has been dismissed from the Virginia men’s basketball program, head coach Tony Bennett announced Friday (Nov. 18).

Nichols was previously suspended for the Cavaliers' two preseason scrimmages and the season opener at UNCG on Nov. 11.

“It’s a privilege to be a part of this program and Austin has lost that privilege,” Bennett said. “We have standards for our student-athletes and when those standards aren’t met, there are consequences and this is the unfortunate consequence.”

Yes but he's a potential new domino added to the mix


If KU somehow ends up taking him and Preston is available that would be nice. If Pune decides to pay him instead of a frosh that we could somehow land that would be nice too. I just don't think any major program is going to take him after several incidents.
