Oregon coach Chip Kelly is expected to address Blount’s status Friday. Blount, who punched Boise State’s Byron Hout after the Ducks’ season-opening loss, will have a chance to be reinstated later this season, provided he continues to follow a plan set in place after the first game, a source told ESPN. That would not happen until Oregon’s bye week on Oct. 17 at the earliest. It’s believed Oregon athletic director Mike Bellotti and school president Richard Lariviere have agreed to a possible reinstatement. On Thursday, the Oregon school newspaper published an apology from Blount, who recently became a new father. The No. 16 Ducks host Washington State on Saturday.---http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=ap-t25-oregon-blount&prov=ap&type=lgns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdog17k Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I find it funny. You're out, you assaulted another person. ...well... we are playing USC, so... I mean, forgive and forget. Personally I don't care if he gets reinstated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Didn't think it would come to this but then again this is how the society works most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenneral Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 I thought the season long punishment was a bit too much in the first place. I'm glad they're considering this as ending his senior season could have completely ruined his chances at professional football. If you watch the video you could see that he was going to walk off the field without incident until Hout decided to try and heckle him after a disappointing loss. I think Hout should have gotten the suspension, not Blount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
