We knew there would be a judicial punishment for Michael Floyd and we got it this week. Floyd got a $200 fine, suspended license for 90 days, one year of probation and will have to have an ignition device installed in his vehicle for six months. He will also have to attend a panel for people whose family members were killed by drunk drivers. The court also dismissed the ticket he got for disregarding a stop sign on the night of his arrest. Since this is not Floyd’s first go around with this kind of issue, maybe these punishments will sink into Michael’s head. He comes across as a nice kid (although at 21 it’s time to grow up) who makes bad decisions and while that’s understandable for ,ost college kids, more is expected from Notre Dame students - especially high profile football players.
Now, with his legal issues settled, Floyd continues to work on his goals set forth by Brian Kelly. Although he has been allowed to participate in voluntary team workouts, he has not been officially reinstated. That timeline and decision is Kelly’s and Kelly’s alone. These voluntary workouts are run by the student athletes and are supervised by strength and conditioning staff for their portions. All quotes from Kelly about Floyd and his progress are positive and lead me to believe we will see Michael catching touchdowns (yes plural) on September 3rd against South Florida in South Bend
