Ohio State’s Kirk Reinstated
- Share via
Ohio State linebacker Chris Kirk, who was found to be academically ineligible, has been reinstated after the Big Ten Conference upheld his appeal.
Kirk learned just days before the season opener against West Virginia that he was ineligible because he had switched majors. The Big Ten, with no new information and no changes in Kirk’s academic transcript, ruled in Kirk’s favor this week.
