per WCCO:

Three University of Minnesota football players are appealing their cases from an alleged incident of sexual assault.

An attorney who represents Kiante Hardin, Mark Williams and Carlton Djam are appealing their academic punishments to the university over the case. A university student panel ruled that all three young men would be expelled.

In September, a female student reported she was sexually attacked by several men in an off-campus apartment. The allegations ranged from those who had sexual contact with her to those who witnessed and encouraged it. Of the nine players involved, four were initially expelled and two were suspended, though Djam’s appeal last month dropped him to a one-year suspension.

University of Minnesota Provost Karen Hanson will hear the players’ case. They’re still enrolled at school during the disciplinary process.

Don't think this is accurate...the student panel was for the appeal.

To further the inaccuracies, only Hardin expulsion was upheld. Djam was reduced to a 1 Year suspension and Williams was never recommended for expulsion.

But hey, these are just facts. Not like they are important or anything.

Pure football question: Let's say Hardin wins his appeal - could he potentially be back on the team? Or has that ship sailed?

PJ if he wanted I think could still toss him for his own reasons. No indications that I've seen if that would happen or not from JP, he has wisely been quiet about this stuff.

Apparently he's been on campus, and at the team's facilities during the appeal process. I don't think the ship has sailed. Hardin arguably has the most to lose by this decision. Best from a legal standpoint for the team to let everything run its course and maintain his current status with the team until every measure has been exhausted.
