Star Notre Dame wide receiver Michael Floyd, suspended after a March 20 DUI arrest, has had his case heard by the school's notoriously stern ResLife board and will not face a suspension for the fall semester. He's still serving a suspension from football, however, a punishment term that's approaching a month in length, and according to our friends at Rivals, he's not even close to getting back on the team:
Michael Floyd Remains Suspended From Notre Dame Football Team
Kelly talked about “hurdles” Floyd must clear for reinstatement but declined to specify what the rising senior must do to earn his way back.
