This is probably the unpopular position around here but I'm mildly impressed that Golson took this route.Â
After being publicly kicked off the team, suspended from school and losing a year of playing time it would have been easy for him to sulk, transfer and start fresh next year somewhere other than ND. From what I've heard he's owned up to his mistake and worked with the school to fix this. (My sources are ND connected so take this with a grain of salt .)
I fully expected Golson to opt for door #1 above. With his athleticism there would have been elite schools willing to give him a soft landing. Good for him to make the stand-up choice.
Remember, this was a 19 year old kid facing a very embarrassing and public failure.

In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.
