Wasn't he tossed off of Tulsa's basketball team?

Yes, but he was cleared of the charges that led to him being suspended from the team (sexual assault?)
Quote:“I fully expected to be cleared of everything, and my dad made some calls about me playing football. We talked to Tulane, Central Florida, Oklahoma State and two or three other schools. We talked with coach Blankenship (TU’s Bill Blankenship), and it made sense for me to come back to Tulsa.”
As a senior linebacker at Brother Martin High School in New Orleans, Swilling reportedly had football scholarship offers from Tennessee, Ole Miss, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Auburn, Miami (Fla.), Virginia Tech and Oregon.
