Martin said after talking with the players, the decision was made that it was best for the players to leave.
Gregory and Cobb were among five players Martin suspended before an NIT victory over High Point last month. The other players - forward Chris Silva and guards Marcus Stroman and TeMarcus Blanton - remain suspended.
