SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Notre Dame will enter its first season in the Atlantic Coast Conference without leading scorer Jerian Grant.

The university posted a statement from Grant on its web site Sunday evening that said he is no longer enrolled at Notre Dame “due to an academic matter that I did not handle properly.”

“I take full responsibility for my lack of good judgment and the poor decision that I made. I have no one to blame but myself for the situation,” he wrote. “I know and understand the expectations that go with being a student at Notre Dame and I did not live up to those standards.”

Grant is the second high-profile athlete to be suspended from Notre Dame in the past year.
