Univ. of Nebraska men kicked out of wrestling
”Paul Donahoe and Kenny Jordan have been permanently dismissed from our wrestling program. The history of behavior of these men, including the current matter, does not reflect the standard of excellence we aspire to on and off the mat.”

”If Nebraska is going to be pigheaded and kick [Donahoe] off unreasonably, there has to be another wrestling program that’s going to want him…. It’s not money that they would be making working as a waiter. They get well-compensated. It’s better than beer money.”
