South Carolina Athletic Director Jeremiah Donati praised the ruling, echoing the sentiment of Gamecock fans. This isn't just a win for the player, but for the entire program.
I applaud the NCAA for looking at all of the facts in Rahsul Faison’s appeal and making the right decision today. He has been patiently waiting for this decision, and we share in his excitement to have one more year of eligibility and be a member of our football team this year.…
