Notre Dame and football Coach Charlie Weis announced today that tight end Joseph Fauria will miss next season for ‘personal reasons.’

Well, that’s technically true.

But saying the 6-foot-7, 245-pound Encino Crespi High product got kicked out of school for a semester would be even more accurate.

Fauria was a backup as a freshman last season -- he played in three games but did not catch a pass -- and was not expected to start in the fall.

Weis said he hoped Fauria would be back in school next spring. He did not say he hoped Fauria would be ALLOWED back in school next spring.

A family source said Fauria is not permitted on campus until December. It is not known whether he will return to the school.
