Blount reinstated by Pac 10

[Upton]

Here is the full text of the statement from the Pac-10:

Pacific-10 Conference Commissioner Larry Scott has approved a request from University of Oregon to reinstate suspended football player LeGarrette Blount. Blount was suspended for unsportsmanlike actions following Oregon's football game at Boise State in September.


"After a thorough review of the situation, I am convinced LeGarrette Blount paid a significant and appropriate price for the mistakes he made on the field, and that he has learned important life-long lessons," said Scott.

The reinstatement is effective immediately and Blount is eligible to play in Oregon's remaining football games.

Blount's suspension gave the Ducks the opportunity to play LaMichael James, who has now become the first Oregon freshman ever to rush for over a 1000 yards....so I guess you could say all this was a blessing in disguise. Anyway, seems to me that the Boise St. player brought a lot of what happened on himself.
