Virginia football recruit Maurice ``Mo'' Anderson has been given permission by the school to rejoin the football team, although he is likely to be redshirted.
Anderson, a 6-foot-4, 264-pound defensive lineman, enrolled in January and played with the first-team defense in UVa's spring game, but he was not listed on the Cavaliers' preseason roster.
Coach George Welsh said last week that Anderson, a 1993 Nottoway High School graduate, had struggled academically. Anderson spent a year at Fork Union Military Academy before meeting NCAA eligibility standards.
John Randolph, the athletic director at William and Mary for the last 10 years, died Friday after a long battle with cancer. He was 53.
A graduate of William and Mary, Randolph was the school's track and field coach from 1968-1976 before going on to the U.S. Military Academy, where he was the track and field coach for three years.
In 1979, Randolph moved to the University of Florida and held a number of international coaching positions, including head coach of the 1993 Pan Am Games track team.
Randolph chaired the NCAA Track and Field Committee for four years and helped prepare the U.S. men's track and field team for the 1984 Olympics.
He also was president of the Colonial Athletic Association in 1988-89.
