He should not be allowed to be re-admitted especially because he plays sports. The bottom line is The Notre Dame is an fine Academic Institution of Higher Education and its principals of leadership for the world should not be undermine because of a kid can throw a nice spiral. Shame on the university for being a hypocrite if they let him back in. It is a privilege to attend and then to play for the University. Not a right! "Come On Man"
If this is the position you want to take, you're committing yourself to eliminating academic leeway not only for all athletes in all sports, but also musicians, dancers, painters, and any other skill that's not sitting in a classroom and regurgitating information on tests.
Academic talent isn't the only kind that's intellectually or morally valuable. Some people are phenomenally talented at carpentry, or indeed, throwing spirals "nicer" than 99.99% of the humans on this planet, but that doesn't mean they're any less valuable or any less talented than a historian. Our "principles of leadership for the world", as you put it, demand a lot more from a person than filling in the right bubbles on a scantron. Especially as a catholic university first and foremost, with a firm belief in forgiveness, we might well think Everett is
more qualified now than he originally was, if he has grown as a person and a leader from the experience.
