The Irish Illustrated guys had some interesting thoughts from Brian Kelly's press conference today. It looks like we don't have much clarity involving Kevin Austin's status for the team other than he is still on the team. Whether Austin is serving a 4-game suspension or season suspension remains to be seen and it looks like we won't find out till October at the earliest. Right now we know Kelly isn't going to tell us more than he has to due to privacy issues.
