Columbia, Mo. ? Ricky Clemons, who is serving a jail term, was permanently removed from Missouri’s basketball team Tuesday. Ricky Clemons, who is serving a jail term, was permanently removed from Missouri’s basketball team Tuesday.

Athletic director Mike Alden told reporters he visited the Boone County Jail earlier Tuesday — more than two weeks after a circuit judge canceled a less stringent sentence in a halfway house — to tell Clemons his athletic scholarship was revoked. Alden said Clemons, 23, violated an agreement he signed in April with Alden and coach Quin Snyder laying out standards of conduct while the athlete was on a one-year suspension from the team.

He was suspended in April after pleading guilty to holding a woman against her will in his Columbia apartment. After his guilty plea, Clemons was serving a 60-day sentence in a halfway house, allowing him to go out during the day for school activities. But late July 4, Clemons was injured near the home of University of Missouri President Elson Floyd when Clemons wrecked an all-terrain vehicle.

Clemons spent several days in the hospital because of a punctured lung, broken ribs and lacerations. Boone County Judge Gene Hamilton ordered him to serve the rest of his sentence — 42 days — in jail.

Clemons scored 14.2 points per game in the 2002-03 season.
