Quintez Cephus officially rejoined the football program on Monday, but can't play in a game until eligibility issues are worked through.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison has reinstated football player Quintez Cephus after a jury found him not guilty of sexual assault.
"All three of the primary participants, in this case, are our students, and I know the past year has been painful for everyone involved," Blank said in a statement."My decision is based on the availability of substantial new information that wasn't made available to us during the earlier process. I recognize that some will disagree with this decision."
"I'm ready to win football games and start back getting my education and I expect to do it at a very high level," Cephus said."Hopefully I have a clear enough mind to get back to being on the academic Big Ten team, making good grades and performing on the field." On April 22, 2018, Cephus had sexual intercourse with two female students. Cephus maintained that the encounter was consensual, but the female students said they were unable to provide consent because they were intoxicated. One student, according to Assistant District Attorney Jessica Miller, sent a message on Snapchat that said,"My phone is going to die. I just got raped. I don't know what to do.
