\"\"<\/p>\n

USC head coach Lincoln Riley<\/strong> has lifted the controversial ban he placed on journalist Luca Evans<\/strong> this week … after the two had a “long conversation” about the Trojans’ beef with the beat writer.<\/p>\n

Riley and his team initially suspended the Orange County Register reporter after they said he violated their media policies when he documented<\/strong> the pre-press-conference mannerisms of a Trojans player in a recent article.<\/p>\n

The school said Evans shouldn’t have written about the student-athlete’s actions … explaining they happened outside of the Trojans’ allotted media availability period. Riley then suspended Evans for two weeks in response.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But, following days of backlash, Riley agreed to talk with Evans on Wednesday … and on Thursday, he decided to remove the punishment.<\/p>\n

“We had a very candid and productive conversation,” Riley said. “We agreed that we both could have handled the situation differently. I appreciate Luca recognizing the policies we have in place to protect our student-athletes and acknowledging to adhere to those in the future.”<\/p>\n

“We welcome Luca back to practice and look forward to his continuing coverage of the Trojans.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Added Evans, “I respect and understand the program’s outlined policies regarding media access, and any missteps came through the intent of doing my job and pursuing relationship-building and storytelling.”<\/p>\n

“I will continue the same reporting an writing with fairness, accuracy and depth, and we reached an agreement to lift the restriction on access.”<\/p>\n

Despite the drama with the journalist, Riley’s got his Trojans rolling this year nonetheless … they’re 3-0, have scored 56-or-more points in all three contests. and are currently ranked No. 5 in the nation.<\/p>\n
