Syracuse reporter Judy Salamone wrote that Williams will be paying his own way this season at the New Rochelle, NY school.
Williams needed a new start following a troublesome year. He was supended for three games at the start of the 2001-02 season for driving while impaired. Then last month, the Paterson, NJ native was cleared of assault charges stemming from a bar brawl hours after completion of final exams.
