NCAA rejects Bryant's appeal

Oklahoma State's All-American receiver Dez Bryant has lost his final appeal, and is therefor suspended for the season.  Bryant's attorney, Willie Baker, said that, "He has not told me what he will do, but if I had to guess, I would say that he would decide to not continue with school and just continue to prepare himself for the draft,".
