Nacita Says Disregarding Guidance From Baylor Was Mistake

Former Baylor running back Silas Nacita says he made a mistake by "disregarding guidance" from the school's compliance department and accepting benefits that led to him being removed from the team.

Baylor announced Tuesday that Nacita, whose story of overcoming an unstable family situation to play major college football made him a fan favorite, was no longer part of the program, not long after he posted on Twitter he had been ruled ineligible.

Nacita posted another statement on his Twitter account -- @Salsa--Nacho -- Wednesday, clarifying his original post.

He says it was misleading to call the people who provided him an apartment when he was unable to afford housing "close family friends."

He says "now I can see that I made a mistake by disregarding guidance from Baylor compliance."
