It took a while, but Darius Paul has been dismissed.
Despite never playing a game for Illinois, the forward was the subject of more than one news release for getting into trouble.
Paul was arrested last week for vandalizing cars and resisting an officer in France, where the team was playing an exhibition tour. The junior forward quickly was sent back to Illinois.
Paul, the brother of former Illinois standout Brandon Paul, had rejoined the Illini this season after spending a year at a Texas junior college following a suspension from the team.
Last season, he was arrested in Champaign for underage drinking and resisting an officer. He also failed two team drug tests.
