NCAA suspension

In November 1991, he was suspended for two months from playing with the Texas Longhorns by the NCAA for having accepted $7,000 from a fan when he graduated from Lon Morris Junior College in 1990 which affected his amateur status. It was alleged the money was a reward for his being named a junior college All-American. His two-month suspension ended in January 1992 when he mailed a $4,600 check to a booster at the junior college, regaining his eligibility status.
