Campus Ban Reversed

Holloway's campus ban was reversed nearly three weeks after his arrest on felony drug charges. He plans to enroll in fall classes and hopes to rejoin the team next season pending his legal case.

He was arrested after 2.1 pounds of marijuana were found in his apartment. He was officially indicted by a grand jury on felony charges.

Legal Challenges Loom

Holloway remains suspended from the basketball team despite the campus ban reversal. His case could take up to two years to go to trial.

He intends to challenge the search of his apartment. The marijuana found was just shy of the threshold for a trafficking charge.
