You haven't heard of Greg Hardy taking any visits in the first few days of free agency.

But he has been going to class.

Sources said the Cowboys defensive end has returned to Ole Miss this semester to enroll in school. Hugh Freeze is the head coach at the University of Mississippi and was Hardy's high school coach. Freeze said in an interview last summer that Hardy was nine hours short of a bachelor's degree in graphic design at Ole Miss.

The Cowboys haven't publicly ruled out Hardy's return, but that appears to be a formality. Head coach Jason Garrett has bordered on monosyllabic when discussing the defensive end this offseason and there are no indications that the two sides have talked since free agency kicked off last week.

Hardy left his Dallas residence soon after the season was over and reportedly hasn't been back.
