A story on ESPN.com today reported that former Mission Bay High School standout running back Dillon Baxter was ruled ineligible by the USC Trojans after inappropriate contact with an agent.
The story says Baxter solicited a golf cart ride from an NFLPA-certified agent on Thursday, and that this violates NCAA policy regarding extra benefits for college athletes.
The news comes at an interesting time for Valley Center fans, with the Jaguars set to play Mission Bay on Friday night (in a rematch of last year's 48-17 trouncing the Buccaneers laid on the Jags behind seven touchdowns by Baxter).
Not that we're at all happy to see the young man have struggles of this kind, but perhaps it sheds a bit of light on why he seemed so difficult and unpopular during his record-setting high school career.
