The NCAA will be ruling on his academic eligability in the coming days. Do YOU think he should be allowed to return to USC?

No, he knew very well what he was doing when he hired an agent. All this "He was just following Clarrett, it's not his fault" crap is dumb. He was told when he declared that if it is decided that he can't go he's out of luck. Yea, I feel somewhat bad for the guy just because he was part of the best team in the nation and had awesome stats but the guy knew what he was doing when he did it and deserves to play the penalty.

Couldn't agree more. His coach, agent, an NFL spokeman, as well as the NCAA all told him the risk. When you take a risk and lose, its because its a RISK! He took it and should walk the path he has chosen. If he starts whining about it, he is just as bad as Clarett.

he should not have hired an agent until after he was drafted...

I agree, too. Mike Williams knew the risks he was taking when he entered the draft AND hired an agent. It's too bad it didn't work out well for him, but he knew what he was getting himself into.

...Probably should have thought things through a little better...
