Missouri star receiver Dorial Green-Beckham has been dismissed from the team, according to the Sporting News.
Missouri coach Gary Pinkel made the announcement on Friday as part of the fallout of an ongoing investigation where Green-Beckham is alleged to have had a recent altercation with at least three women that ended with him pushing passed one them in search of his girlfriend and she falling down a flight of at least four stairs.

"This decision was made with the best interests of all involved in mind," Pinkel said in a statement. "Dorial's priority going forward needs to be focusing on getting the help he needs. As we have all along, we will continue to do everything we can to assist Dorial and his family. We care deeply about Dorial and his well-being, but hopefully he can benefit from a fresh start."
Some preseason evaluators were expected to have 6-6, 225 pound Green-Beckham on their All-American team following his 59 catch, 883 yards and 12 touchdowns 2013-14 season. Green-Beckham has also been arrested two other times since 2012, most recently for "suspicion of drug activity."
In the most recent incident, the two 18-year-old women involved declined to press charges against him, which police say more than likely would have been for first-degree burglary, a Class B felony.
Green-Beckham's adoptive father, John Beckham, has since released a statement released a statement from his sin that reads: "First and most importantly, I take responsibility for my conduct and my mistakes. Don't blame my girlfriend or her friends for anything. I am not looking for sympathy. I have been young and dumb. I want to be better. I'm entering counseling. With help, I know I can be stronger emotionally and spiritually. My relationship with God, my family, friends, teammates and coaches are most important in my life, not football. It may not be possible to fix everything, but it won't be for not trying."
