USC wide receiver Mike Williams told ESPN The Magazine's Bruce Feldman Thursday that the NCAA has refused his request for reinstatement.

When asked about his initial reaction to the rejection, Williams first said he is thankful to have a resolution. He added he felt bad for all the people who went through the long and complicated reinstatement process and for the people who supported him, including USC coach Pete Carroll.

Williams, who said he will work out with USC strength coach Chris Carlisle while attending classes for the next four months, will be eligible for the 2005 draft. He will be them minimum three years removed from high school.

The USC team was en route Thursday to the East Coast for Saturday night's game against Virginia Tech

That's pretty lame. It's not like the guy knew they were going to end up overruling the decision that let him enter the draft. I'm no USC fan, but he deserves to be back.

He knew because the NCAA told him that he won't be back if the NCAA wins the appeal and it won.

The NCAA also said he'd never win the case. And they did....temporarily.

I think he would have had a better chance if he didn't sign with an agent.

well, look at the facts. the NFL won't let anyone into the draft if they've been out of high school for less than three years, which mike williams fits into. rules are meant to be followed and williams broke it.

sucks for USC, but UCLA still has no chance of beating them this year.
