I hope he does play. The idea is to try to change the guys who make bad decisions and allow them to learn from it. Neither the media or the fans need to know what goes on behind closed doors from a disciplinary standpoint and I trust that additional discipline is taken in most cases because of the impact it has on the school. Both he and Hill were dismissed for at least 3 months from the football program. During that time, they still had to attend class and meet certain requirements before being reinstated. Once reinstated, remaining with the team is dependent on the decisions the players make going forward.

To be clear, Fields was never dismissed from the program. He's just had this suspension hanging over his head for about 3 months. I know a couple coaches and a few guys involved with the training/equipment staff, and they said it's really been weighing on him. The university as a whole is being really tight lipped regarding what actually happened, but from everything I've heard, it was a random room inspection by an RA and they found some alcohol in the room (Lord forbid a college student has some beer in the fridge), so I have no clue what to expect as far as the suspension being lifted or not.

I will say that I hope it does, from a selfish fan perspective. The dude is a freaking terror and would really change the dynamic of our DL for that game. Our LB corps is WEAK WEAK WEAK so we're gonna need all the help we can get along the front lines.
