Good for him! Just like the time he pissed off the World Security Council for protecting the Winter Soldier after the bombing death of a monarch from a non-existent African country, but finally worked his way back into the good graces of SHIELD and Tony Stark.

I'm very glad that Evans was reinstated - both for him personally and for the team.

However, I truly hope that other students (non athletes) would be given the same chance, all else being equal.  If this was a special deal due to him being a revenue sport athlete, that would be disappointing.

Anyone know more about this type of situation?

I can’t recall a situation like this even in a revenue sport. It seems very unusual for someone to get suspended not just from the sport but from school, sit out a whole season working as an Ahmo’s delivery guy, and then come back to the same school. If he’s getting a special break from UM it’s not a very generous one. Sure seems to me like he took his lumps.

Whether he contributes to the success on the field or not - good for Chris.  Not easy to battle back on personal/scholastic issues like that.  I will be rooting for him to have a successful year and get his degree.

No one knows the answers to these questions.....but I'll ask anyways.

Would this make Evans eligible for our bowl game against FL? 

And how does this situation affect his remaining eligibility
