Michigan State football: Jon Reschke returns after insensitive comments

CHICAGO — Jon Reschke is back on Michigan State’s football roster, 17 months after issuing an apology for “insensitive” comments that led to his departure.

Spartans coach Mark Dantonio confirmed the decision Tuesday during the final day of Big Ten football media availability but added that it is a “step-by-step process” and that the next phase will be if his players welcome Reschke back for fall camp.

"I talked to our football team and our players and said, ‘Hey, if you guys want him back, then you have to bring him back.’ It has to be a decision made by our African-American players, led by them, and they have to support that.
