LSU football coach Les Miles this morning announced that quarterback Ryan Perrilloux is no longer on the team.

In the news release, Miles said that "Ryan was given every opportunity to be part of this football team," but Miles says, "In the end, he didn't fulfill his obligation as an LSU student athlete."

Perrilloux will finish his spring semester, but Coach Miles says he will have no more comment today on the written statement that was put out this morning.

Perrilloux ran up against the law and team discipline with regularity at LSU. He was on the fringe of a counterfeiting investigation and was caught trying to enter a Baton Rouge casino with a false identification. That got him suspended all of last summer.

He also was involved in a fracas at a nightclub in November, but he was cleared of wrongdoing.
