A little less than 3 weeks after being cleared of a trespassing charge, South Carolina cornerback C.C. Whitlock has been cleared by athletic director Eric Hyman to return to the Gamecocks football program.
Unfortunately for Whitlock,the defensive back has yet to be cleared by the man who ultimately holds the key to his football fate at the university. That is,Head Coach, Steve Spurrier.
"His situation resolved in the court system. So therefore, based on that, he was released to football and to academics," Hyman said. "They take whatever approach they feel necessary from this point going forward."
Spurrier suspended Whitlock indefinitely shortly after his arrest, and stated publicly the CB would miss at least one game should he be reinstated.
The fact that Whitlock missed a good portion of spring practice due to academic issues before his arrest in May will likely play a role in when Spurrier lifts the suspension. The SEC Rocks!
