South Carolina basketball forward Mike Jones has been dismissed from the team, school officials said Thursday.

The school took away Jones scholarship because he did not meet the standards university officials set for him when he transferred from Syracuse in January, coach Dave Odom said.

The school could not discuss if Jones met academic requirements because of the university's privacy policy, spokeswoman Michelle Schmitt said.
