Update: UConn reportedly committed NCAA violations in its recruitment of Nate Miles.Nate Miles appears ready to appeal his expulsion from UConn. His legal guardian has said all along that he wanted Miles to appeal, and expected he would. Now it seems more likely with the dismissal of the complaint that started everything.
The woman who filed the complaint, a 19-year-old student, didn't show up for the civil hearing. Neither did Miles.Miles, though, was not required to attend. That hearing was to determine whether the restraining order should be extended. Miles still has a court date in late November to face charges of violating the restraining order.
That said, Miles's chance to return to UConn is still dubious. He was expelled for violation of the student code, and it isn't exactly clear what the basis of the appeal will be. Even if Miles wins the appeal, it merely sends the matter back to the hearing board for reconsideration of the decision and/or the punishment.

As a huge husky fan it pains me to see this guy go. But when the details of the incident began to leak out, it looked bad. I want to win, but not so bad that I would risk the chance of some girl being hurt. Sometimes you just need to move on.

He's only a felon, after all. It takes a LOT more than that to get disqualified at Connecticut. Rumor has it that some of the people on the team actually know where some classrooms are. After all, its not called "UConn" for nothing.

personally, i think he deserves to be expelled and for the punishment
to remain that way. i go to uconn and met him while out one night
with my friends at the beginning of the year. not only did he come
up to our room uninvited (although with other people), but he
basically assaulted me. the girl who pressed charges was just brave
enough to put a precious uconn athlete in a bad light. i give her
credit because i didnt have enough guts to do it.
