Arizona dismissed linebacker Santino Marchiol from the program Monday, coach Kevin Sumlin announced, after a video surfaced over the weekend in which he twice referred to a former Texas A&M teammate as a monkey.
The source of the video, which was uploaded just last week, was Marchiol’s Hudl account, a website where film and other analytics are stored. The offensive clip was discovered by Texas A&M fans and then circulated on social media before it was deleted.
Last week, USA TODAY Sports reported that Marchiol had made numerous accusations of misconduct against Texas A&M, his former program, as he attempted to gain immediate eligibility at Arizona through a waiver request.
