Starting Michigan State cornerback Chris L. Rucker has been reinstated to the Spartans following a suspension for an alcohol-related arrest while on probation (whew). SB Nation's Michigan State community, The Only Colors, ponders Ruckers as-yet undetermined playing status for Saturday's game:
Anyway, I can see both sides of this issue. For those wanting him to play he's already missed two games and practice time, one could argue that's punishment enough. On the other hand, if one of the conditions of your probation stipulates that you can't drink, then DON'T DRINK WHEN YOU'RE ON PROBATION. We'll most likely find out more information soon on Coach Dantonio's radio show tonight.
