When an academic policy violation last fall meant Austin Parker was suspended from Duke for the spring semester, Blue Devils coach David Cutcliffe dismissed Parker from the school's football team last December.
Since Parker was Duke's kicker and punter last season, it was a big blow to the Blue Devils.
Cutcliffe, though, reconsidered his decision. After initially saying he wasn't interested in having Parker back on the team, Cutcliffe changed his mind.
Having served his academic suspension so that he can begin summer school classes on Wednesday at Duke, Parker has also been reinstated to the team.
