Middle Tennessee State University campus police are investigating whether senior, all-Sun Belt Conference quarterback Dwight Dasher took money from an 80-year-old man to use for gambling.
Nice work... allegedly... specifically, it is for high-stakes poker...
Apparently... alledgedly...
Word is that a gentleman named Oliver Donnell, a patient at VA hospital in Murfreesboro, reported Dasher to some form of local police in July after Dasher ((allegedly)) wouldn't return his phone calls.
Oops...
MTSU AD Chris Massaro says in a statement the NCAA has been notified about the investigation.
Donnell told a local newspaper he lent $1,500 to Dasher to use for a high-stakes poker game with the promise that Dasher would split winnings with him. Donnell also says he has been interviewed by a consultant working for MTSU to determine if Dasher's eligibility status is now and forever screwed...
Here's the report from Murfreesbro, thanks to our friends at WKRN-TV in Nashville...
Joseph Pleasant got to sit at the anchor table and talk about it...
The key to this whole thing is Dasher's name has come up in an investigation surrounding missing checks involving a teammate, Colin Boss.
The response by Boss where Dasher is concerned will really determine whether or not the Blue Raiders will be in the Sun Belt race this season... or if Dasher's career just flamed out entirely.
