UConn freshman Ryan Boatright was cleared on Saturday to return to game action.

He will be back in uniform for Sunday's game against Notre Dame in Hartford.

According to UConn's release, "Boatright has been reinstated for intercollegiate competition through a cooperative effort of the NCAA, the University of Connecticut and Boatright."

Boatright sat out the last three games while the NCAA reviewed his eligibility. He also missed the first six games this season for the same issue.

In a rare move, the NCAA released details about the Boatright case, including a timeline.

According to the NCAA, Boatright and his mother, Tanesha, received over $8,000 in cash and other impermissible benefits, including a car, from at least two sources connected to non-scholastic basketball and professional sports before and during his days at UConn.

In November, he had to repay $4,500 in impermissble benefits to a charity.

He headed back to the sidelines on Jan. 13 when the NCAA received information that an "inappropriate source" paid his mother's car payments.

The NCAA gave Boatright limited immunity on Jan. 16, asking for complete and truthful cooperation from him and his mother.

Here's the NCAA timeline from its website:

Early October 2011: UConn and the NCAA enforcement staff began interviewing individuals and collecting documentation based on numerous credible allegations indicating that several impermissible benefits had been provided to the student-athlete and his mother. The source of the allegations had also provided a significant amount of documentation to substantiate the claims.

Early November 2011: The NCAA enforcement staff agreed with UConn that the student-athlete should not be allowed to compete based on the evidence collected as of that date. While all the relevant information requested from his mother had not been received, the NCAA agreed with UCONN that it was in the best interests of the student-athlete to go ahead and process the known violations while waiting for the other requested records.

November 18, 2011: Mr. Boatright was reinstated by the NCAA with the condition of a six game withholding and repayment of $4,500 in impermissible benefits to charity. UConn had declared Mr. Boatright ineligible for preferential treatment violations from two different individuals. The impermissible benefits included travel expenses for his mother during four official visits to NCAA schools and approximately $1,200. In addition, Mr. Boatright was provided travel expenses, hotel, meals and training expenses during a two-night trip to California.

November 26, 2011: Mr. Boatright returns to competition.

January 11, 2012: Mr. Boatright's mother, through her attorney, provided additional requested documents.

January 13, 2012: After a review of those records, the NCAA enforcement staff and UConn confirmed that an inappropriate source had been making car payments on behalf of Mr. Boatright's mother as had been originally reported by the source. At this time, UConn decided to withhold him from competition.

January 16, 2012: After considering all of the facts and circumstances known at that time, including the fact that the student-athlete was likely the least culpable actor, the enforcement staff extended an offer of immunity to the student-athlete conditioned on full, complete and truthful cooperation by the student-athlete and his mother in pursuing the remaining allegations.

January 17 and 19, 2012: To clarify some remaining concerns, Mr. Boatright and his mother were re-interviewed by the NCAA enforcement staff and UConn representatives.

January 27, 2012, 7 p.m.: Both the student-athlete and his mother sent the enforcement staff additional records.

January 28, 2012 at 2 p.m.: After reviewing the additional records, the enforcement staff notified the university that the NCAA staff believed that the student-athlete and his mother had fulfilled the conditions of immunity and therefore, the student-athlete was again eligible for competition.
