The Evans Scholar who ran onto the Ohio Stadium field during a Buckeyes game is getting a mulligan.
Ohio State engineering student Anthony Wunder pleaded guilty Thursday to criminal trespassing, a fourth-degree misdemeanor, and apologized in court to his family, the university and the Evans Scholars, according to the Columbus Dispatch.
He will only have to pay a $100 fine and court costs, and Evans Scholar officials will let him keep his scholarship. Jeff Harrison, the organization’s senior vice president of education, told the Tribune that Wunder remains on probation and will have to complete a counseling program.

Wunder, 21, ran onto the field Sept. 27 and was tackled by Buckeyes strength coach Anthony Schlegel.
