It seems that suspended Notre Dame cornerback KeiVarae Russell is growing tired of being away from the team.
Russell is one of five Notre Dame players (the others are receiver Davaris Daniels, linebacker Kendall Moore, defensive end Ishaq Williams and defensive back Eilar Hardy) that have been suspended as the school investigates what it's calling "potential academic dishonesty." On Wednesday, Russell turned to Instagram to vent his frustration with the matter.
“Noooo, still not back," wrote Russell on his Instagram page. "It sucks. Hearing went well in my opinion thought. Was able to express my case from my POV and bring to light alot of what was false 'evidence.' But they are making me wait till every hearing is done to make a decision… it sucks."
Russell then posted another comment, which he has since deleted, saying that Notre Dame is "becoming ridiculous."
"This school is becoming ridiculous," he said. "I killed my meeting; I was so prepared and ready and was able to refute damn near every suspicion they had. Described details of assignments thoroughly so they couldn't say I didn't do it, AND THEY STILL SAID MY DECISION WONT COME UNTIL ALL 5 OF US (and some other minor hearings) ARE DONE. Decision MIGHT come next week, not even 100% it's tough to understand these people.."
Russell and the other suspended Notre Dame players have been allowed to train with the school's strength coach, and are allowed to be in the school's athletics complex, but they cannot participate in practice, games or team meetings.
