Jason Berryman finally ran out of second chances as a Cyclone.

ISU Football Coach Dan McCarney dismissed Berryman from the team Tuesday, effective immediately. Berryman, 20, was cited Saturday night by Ames Police for being on the premises while underage. His 21st birthday is Feb. 18, less than three weeks away.

“This was an extremely difficult decision for me because our institution has invested a lot in his future,” McCarney said in an ISU Athletic Department news release. “But, we run a program built upon integrity, following the rules and doing the right thing. That has always been the case and will continue to be the foundation of how we operate this football program.”

Berryman was issued a citation at 12:59 a.m. Sunday at Club Element, 2401 Chamberlain St., for being a minor on the premises. The citation is a municipal infraction, not a criminal charge, according to Daily staff reports.

Municipal infractions do not appear on criminal records. Berryman is on probation for an earlier offense and spent 258 days in jail for theft and assault convictions.

Berryman, sophomore in liberal arts and sciences-open option, will continue to receive his scholarship and academic assistance for the remainder of spring semester, according to the release.

McCarney met with Berryman prior to dismissing him from the team. He said Berryman was given a second chance after earlier legal issues in his career.

“A number of individuals on this campus made a commitment to give Jason [Berryman] a second chance, both academically and athletically,” McCarney said.

“Jason [Berryman] has made progress in maturing as a young man, but he has not fully met the expectations that we jointly established. As a result – although we’ll continue to offer him academic support – he will no longer represent Iowa State University athletically.”

Bethany Schuttinga, director of judicial affairs, said specific information regarding Berryman’s case could not be disclosed, citing the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act protects student records from public release.

Whether Berryman or any student faces sanctions from the Office of Judicial Affairs for off-campus incidents depends on the details in each case, Schuttinga said.

“Enrolled students at Iowa State are subject to the student code of conduct when incidents occur off campus,” she said. “[Cases] are reviewed to determine a clear and distinct interest of the institution.”

Schuttinga said each situation’s context determines whether the Office of Judicial Affairs investigates student incidents occurring off campus.

“In general, if the university would have any interest in that situation, it would depend not only on the charge but the context of the situation,” she said.

“All students are bound to our student code of conduct and we don’t discriminate who that applies to. A student is a student regardless of the situation.”

McCarney and officials from the ISU Athletic Department were unavailable for direct comment.
