Very much surprised that the story isn't on ESPN.com's front page and/or Tom Friend isn't in Columbus to cover the story.

But good for Clarett. Hope he can finish his degree at OSU, walk into the stadium (commencement) and take care of his family.

Great news. His enrolling at Ohio State suggests he may indeed have learned some valuable life lessons.

Life after football begins eventually for all players; it begins now for MoC. Honestly, I admit I still have some warm feelings about this kid. Incredible college running back - for one year.

Wonder if he's getting tickets for the Miami game

He was hoping for a low-key return, but no such luck. Once word got out that Clarett was back, the school's media-relations office was swamped with calls, and ended up releasing a statement from Clarett:

?This is a surreal feeling to be back at Ohio State in such a supportive environment," he said. "I have looked forward to being back in school and I?m doing my best to fit in with other students. I don?t want to be a distraction or nuisance to the football team or to students on campus.?

Does anyone know if he would be still getting a free ride due to the OSU standing rule that football players are allowed to come back free to get their degree. Or if he would be required to pay his own way due to the circumstances he left?

I think he would have to be 45 hours of graduating to take advantage of that. He may be paying the whole way or until he gets 45 hours away.

He was drafted and despite not making the team I'm pretty sure that kills any eligibility he had. Plus the whole 5 years to play for clock is long done. He might have eligibility left for lecross or something if he wanrts to and decided to talk to the NCAA on it.
