The leading WR in the Big East, Mike Williams of the Syracuse Orange, told his coach on Monday that he is quitting the team. Pretty shocking to me - but it sounds like he has some drama surrounding his 3-year college career.

Doesn't everyone react this way after being around Greg Paulus.

I wouldn't blame him. Not alot of people probably know about him and his skills plus it might've been interfering with his college work.

He should have said he wanted to retire and then change his mind.

He was on the 1st/2nd round cusp of some draft boards, this is sure to hurt him.  Amongst seniors only LaFell, Gilyard and possibly Decker are rated above him.  He has always had academic struggles and he likely decided to pack it in for that reason.

Maybe he'll move to Philly and buy guns. Make it a Syracuse wideout tradition. Luckily, he didn't go to Michigan State.

Maurice Clarett's advice will pay off big time for him

That might be the worst move of his life.  He could possibly be a higher-round draft pick if he stayed on the team.

Here's the word on about Mike Williams from a source that can confirm nor deny this:

Saturday night after the Cincinnati loss, Coach Marrone indicated that he wanted all the players to stay on campus that evening.  Well allegedly, Williams went out with some friends to the Turning Stone casino(35 minute drive from Syracuse).  Apparently, while out at the casino, his "entourage" was in a minor traffic accident, and that it had appeared that a few people in that vehicle had been drinking. 

When Coach Marrone got word of what happened, he was apparently incensed & planned to suspend Williams for a second time this year for breaking team rules. (His 1st suspension was for the Akron game a couple of weeks ago, allegedly for failing to show up for class.  He was also kicked out of school in June 2008 for academic fraud after getting caught cheating twice.)  And when told of his possible suspension, Williams allegedly told Coach Marrone to "F" off & said that he quit. 

Way to go Mike, Syracuse basically allowed you to get back into school & resume your football career, & this is how you repay them by quitting the team?  ROFL Priceless.

If that is what is happened, then I am happy to see him go.  Well at least a part of me is unconcerned about him leaving the team.  He seems like one of those players that is more of a distraction that an asset to the team.
