Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant will remain suspended for the remainder of the football season for lying to NCAA investigators.

The NCAA has ruled that the junior All-American wide-out will not be eligible to play for the Oklahoma State Cowboys until September 2010. That means that Bryant may opt out of his senior year and possibly choose to enter the NFL draft and bring an end to his college career.

After this week's appeal, Bryant said that he is obviously not happy with the NCAA's decision to keep him ineligible for the rest of the 2009 season, but he is not bitter.

"I respect the process," Bryant said. "I thank Oklahoma State for appealing the decision and look forward to when I can tell my side of the story."

Oklahoma State appealed the decision to the Student-Athlete Reinstatement Committee, but the schools efforts wee in vain as the NCAA upheld it's ruling. The school announced back on October 7th that Bryant was declared ineligible for lying to the NCAA about his relationship with former NFL star Deion Sanders.

"I just felt the manner in which I was interrogated by the NCAA was an experience I never had before," Bryant said. "The manner they asked the questions led me to believe that I did something wrong when in fact I had not. My mistake was not seeking advice prior to being interrogated."

As for his thoughts on entering the NFL Draft in April, a source close to Bryant said that the Cowboys receiver would choose to go to the NFL if he was not reinstated. However, Bryant himself declined to commit to anything.

"I'm not thinking about that," Bryant said. "I'm helping my team and continuing my course of study."
