Western Michigan linebacker reinstated after commissioner reviews footage

KALAMAZOO, MI — Western Michigan football fans can breathe a sigh of relief heading into Saturday's matchup with Illinois.

Junior linebacker Robert Spillane has been reinstated for Saturday's game against the Fighting Illini after being ejected from the Broncos' 70-21 win over North Carolina Central.

Spillane was called for two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, the second late in the third quarter, and was forced to leave the field of play.
