It was quite the quarterback sneak. Perhaps this is indicative of increased escapability.

On a day where the college football news was 100% focused on Penn State our favorite QB1 showed up a day early for his court hearing and walked away with 330 days probation and 50 hours of community service.

There is still no word on whether or not Rees will receive further punishment from Coach Brian Kelly. We will most likely have to wait until the fall camp opening presser to find out.

Rees did have this to offer.

"I apologize to my family, friends, the Notre Dame community, Fighting Irish fans and the South Bend Police Department for my actions this spring. I made a poor decision and I accept full responsibility," Rees' statement read.

"I learned a valuable lesson and witnessed first-hand that actions have consequences. This experience will make me a better person and I will focus on being a positive role model and citizen.

"To those who supported me during this difficult time, I offer my sincerest thanks. To the people I disappointed, I am dedicated to winning back your trust and confidence."
