If he plays a down in 2014 it will be a joke when you have players who play by the rules having to sit out a year. DGB screws up and gets rewarded. Way to go Stoops. I posted his legal issues.
Oklahoma confident Dorial Green-Beckham will play this season
Oklahoma officials think transfer Dorial Green-Beckham could suit up for the Sooners this season after he’s granted immediate eligibility by the NCAA.
Green-Beckham transferred to Oklahoma after he was dismissed from Missouri following several run-ins with the law during his two seasons with the program.
According to the Oklahoman, Oklahoma is planning to use something called the “run-off†waiver, which is in place for players who were removed from their programs through no fault of their own. Oklahoma will contend that Green-Beckham was dismissed from the Missouri team for a legal issue for which he was never charged.
On April 6, Green-Beckham was the subject of a suspected burglary after a Missouri student said Green-Beckham forced open her apartment door at 2:30 a.m. while trying to see his girlfriend. Columbia, Mo., police said they could not arrest Green-Beckham because the witness feared retaliation if she came forward with her complaint.
Columbia police said Green-Beckham’s girlfriend sent the witness 16 text messages asking her not to press charges. One of the text messages claimed Green-Beckham dragged his girlfriend from the apartment by her neck, which prompted a domestic abuse investigation, but the friend said she was drunk and didn’t remember sending the messages.
In January, Green-Beckham was arrested with two other men in Springfield, Mo., after police found a pound of marijuana in their car. However, no criminal charges were filed. Green-Beckham also was charged with marijuana possession in October 2012, but he later pleaded guilty to second-degree trespassing.
Oklahoma has yet to file its appeal to the NCAA as it is waiting on one final document from Missouri. Both Missouri coach Gary Pinkel and Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said they talked regarding Green-Beckham before Oklahoma added him to the roster. Pinkel maintained that he thought Green-Beckham deserved a fresh start.
Green-Beckham caught 87 passes for 1,278 yards and 17 touchdowns in two seasons at Missouri. Oklahoma currently has just one receiver on its roster with significant college experience.

Legal issues[edit]
Late on the night of October 3, 2012 Green-Beckham and two other freshman teammates, linebacker Torey Boozer and receiver Levi Copelin, were arrested on marijuana charges by the University of Missouri police department after the three were found in possession of 35 grams (1.2 oz) or less of marijuana.[21] Green-Beckham and the others were parked in a vehicle south of Memorial Stadium in Columbia at the time of their arrest. Two other unnamed individuals—also Mizzou players—were in the vehicle as well, but were released after police determined they were not involved in the drug possession.[21] After being processed at the campus police station Green-Beckham, Boozer, and Copelin were released on signature summons.[22] In response to the arrest a spokesperson for the MU athletic department said that all five players would be suspended from the next game, October 6 against Vanderbilt. Other disciplinary action may also be taken by the team[21] and handled internally with no additional public comment on the issue.[22] The case was resolved on October 16, 2012 when Green-Beckham entered a guilty plea to a reduced charge of tresspassing in Columbia, Missouri Municipal Court. He was fined $200 plus court costs.[23]
On January 10, 2014 Green-Beckham was again arrested on a marijuana charge.[24] Officials with the Springfield, Missouri police department confirmed the Mizzou star was arrested on suspicion of drug activity and booked into the Greene County, Missouri jail in the early morning hours of January 11th. Police found a pound of marijuana in the car he was riding in.[24] According to the Springfield News-Leader, Green-Beckham was originally arrested for possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute following a traffic stop but was later released without charges, pending further investigation.[25] Authorities, citing an ongoing investigation, declined to provide further information on the incident.
Dismissal[edit]
On Friday, April 11, 2014, Dorial Green-Beckham was dismissed from the University of Missouri football team. His dismissal followed his prior drug-related problems and an incident in which he allegedly forced open an apartment door and pushed an 18-year-old woman down several stairs. Green-Beckham was not charged in the incident, with police citing a lack of cooperation from the alleged victim. Head coach Gary Pinkel said in a prepared statement, "This decision was made with the best interests of all involved in mind. Dorial's priority going forward needs to be focusing on getting the help he needs. As we have all along, we will continue to do everything we can to assist Dorial and his family. We care deeply about Dorial and his well-being, but hopefully he can benefit from a fresh start."[
