When CTA was asked about if and when Ellison might return

I saw that,it didn’t sound very promising to me.Work your back from injuries to earn a scholarship to a B10 school and throw it all away,just mind boggling.
Saw that. Pretty disingenuous on his part, considering the buck starts and stops with him.
I'm surprised some intrepid reporter didn't ask if it was out of his hands, whose hands is it in? Ellison? Doesn't the coach have to decide if he can work his way back?

I take it as either it's a legal issue that needs to go through the process and/or Ellison has to do something to atone for whatever he did before he can be back on the team.
If the rumors are even close to correct he's not being disingenuous at all. Depending on what the powers that be call the transgression the decision has been purposefully taken from all the coaches... If his acts fall under a specific type of misconduct he'll be very fortunate to remain enrolled... They took this type of decision from all the coaches purposely so we never become another M$U...
Well if it's with the prosecutor's office or with the university...it's out of his hands and I don't think he's being disingenuous...my guess is there is a process at the athletic department (thankfully) and the head coach can't just say "this guy is going to play"...

If the kid's troubles are outside of the scope of the head football coach it's out of his hands whether he'd like to reinstate him or not.
Out of his hands = criminal offense
He doesn’t get to decide what happens to the guy in the legal system. Not talking about just skipping class.
That's not necessarily true. Darius Latham was suspended indefinitely while he awaited a student conduct review hearing or something. It had nothing to do with law enforcement.
No, but let's not act like the coach doesn't have a say in the matter, particularly if there is no legal action (which there hasn't been) and the person is willing to change and try to work his way back on the team).
Yeah, "if". Then just say where it stands and who decides whether he can come back.
Again...think of corporate America human resource processes...a manager may desperately want a subordinate to be "back in the field"...but cannot...as internal reviews are implemented and corrective courses are determined and then implemented.
I suspect, given what I've learned about CTA, that he is more concerned with the young man's growth and maturity as a result of whatever transpired...and perhaps less concerned that he gets the kid back in the lineup.
We mock places like Miami, OSU, etc. who treat these young men as instruments of winning and don't invest in their character and future. I'm growing confident that the athletic department and CTA are handling this in an appropriate manner.
With privacy laws can he say anything about the player and the process?
Darius Latham ended up getting suspended from the NFL for four games also. Apparently he never figured it out.
