U.Va. officials say Brooks not dropped
Internet report had said linebacker was dismissed and would try to turn pro

CHARLOTTESVILLE - University of Virginia officials, responding to an Internet report, said yesterday that star linebacker Ahmad Brooks is still on the school's football team.

A Web site devoted to U.Va. sports, citing unidentified sources, reported yesterday morning that Brooks has been dismissed from the team and would try to play in the NFL this season. CavsCorner.com, which is not affiliated with U.Va., said Brooks' dismissal stemmed from a recent "off-field incident" on which its sources would not elaborate.
After speaking yesterday with coach Al Groh, U.Va. spokesman Jim Daves told The Times-Dispatch that Brooks' "status on our football team has not changed. He is a member of our football team."
In an e-mail to the T-D, Virginia Athletic Director Craig Littlepage said, "Ahmad's eligibility to participate has not changed." But a source close to the U.Va. football program expressed surprise yesterday that Groh had said Brooks was still on the team.
The T-D's attempts to reach Brooks' family yesterday were unsuccessful.
Should Brooks leave the U.Va. program prematurely, he might be eligible for the upcoming NFL supplemental draft.
All it would take take is a five second call to BB friend Al Groh to see if this guy is worth the hassle.PatDaPatriot said:Despite his talent, Brooks isn't Patriots material...
