The University of Wisconsin has gone on the record and said no official decision has been made yet about the enrollment status of Quintez Cephus.

The former Badgers star wide receiver was recently acquitted of multiple sexual assault charges after less than an hour of deliberation, and his lawyers are doing everything to get him back into school. However, one of them made the claim Monday that Wisconsin wouldn’t let him back in and that Cephus wasn’t welcome. (RELATED: Quintez Cephus Acquitted Of Multiple Sexual Assault Charges)

The school pushed, and denied any official decision has been made at this time. The statement from the university released on Monday reads in part:

UW-Madison is committed to performing a complete and thorough review of any petition for reinstatement that it receives. In most cases this involves a full review of all relevant court records, which in this case were not provided in the petition. We are working to gather this information currently and will complete our review of the petition as quickly as possible once we have it.  No decision on this matter has been made at this time.

I’m not a lawyer, and I also don’t understand this situation at all. Cephus was pushed out of the university after his arrest, and that obviously meant he couldn’t play football.

However, he’s since been acquitted on all charges related to the accusations he sexually assaulted two women in his apartment back in 2018.

He wasn’t just acquitted. The star receiver’s fate was determined in the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee. If that’s not clear as day about the jury’s feelings, then I don’t know what would be.

The university needs to let him back in. Any other decision would be nothing less than an embarrassment to the school.

In what fantasyland does a university think they are a higher authority than the criminal justice system. This isn’t even about getting Cephus back on the football team.

It’s about righting something that’s clearly a wrong.

If Wisconsin doesn’t fix this situation, I can promise you they will see a loss of financial support among people who are known to write checks.

That much isn’t even up for debate. They need to do the proper thing and fix this situation before anymore damage to Cephus is done.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
