Kenny Jordan, one of the two men kicked off the Nebraska wrestling team for posing nude for an Internet pornography site, told the university’s student newspaper that he messed up.

In Thursday’s Daily Nebraskan, Jordan said he made a bad decision and got in trouble for it and also admitted his punishment is fair.

Coach Mark Manning dismissed Jordan and Paul Donahoe, a 2007 national champion, on Tuesday for allegedly violating NCAA rules by accepting compensation from a Web site that features gay pornographic images. Photos of the wrestlers, in which they posed separately, showed them both naked and partially clothed and were posted on the Web site, which charges its subscribers a monthly fee.
