Yale’s Men Basketball Captain Expelled Following Sexual Allegation

The men’s basketball team captain was expelled from Ivy League School after the University conducted a sexual misconduct allegation.

A source close to the accused, Jack Montague revealed that that the captain had a consensual sexual relationship with a fellow student in 2014. One year later, Montague was summoned to appear before the University of Yale’s committee regarding the sexual misconduct, leading to his expulsion months later.

However, the university has not confirmed these details due to confidentiality. On the other hand, Montague has not played for the basketball for over five decades.

A university statement said that any Information regarding withdrawal of a student from the university is maintained as part of the student’s confidential record and that the university does not have distinctions in treating any confidential matter different even if you are withdrawn from the school. Bottom line is all students’ educational matters, be it disciplinary matters or educational performance, are considered private between Yale and the student. As such, the university will not disclose any information concerning the student to the public.

Jim Montague, the father of Montague said that his son has been expelled from Yale University and have received strict orders from their lawyer not to comment on the matter. However, he cannot wait to share the other side of the story.

The allegations against Jack Montague   generated a recent protest at the university, calling for greater awareness and actions on matters concerning sexual assault.

A childhood friend of Montague, Blake Thomson told the media that Montague’s goal at the moment is to clear his name.

The attorney representing the Montague family was not available to comment in response to the inquiry from the CNN.   On the other hand, the Yale and New Haven police departments have said there are no complaints regarding the matter.

Kevin Dorsey Might Skip This Seasons Basketball Due to a Sexual Post on his Social Media Account

Kevin Dorsey Might Skip This Seasons Basketball Due to a Sexual Post on his Social Media Account

We all have that one thing that might make us lose our jobs once our employers see our social media posts. You never know who is reading your posts, be careful what you post on social media. You never know this might be the post that ruins your entire career.

As for Kevin Dorsey, a freshman guard of Gophers, his social media site had a sex act on Friday night. Dorsey alongside Nat Mason and Dupree McBrayer allegedly violated team rules and were held out of Sunday’s game, said a statement from the University of Minnesota.

His entire twitter account and the video as well has since been deleted. However Minneapolis police said they are not involved in any criminal investigation whatsoever. Chris Werle, the associate athletic director at the university said that they have seen some of the things on social media and that they are looking into it. He further said that there was not any reports or complaints against the school.

Gophers lost 84-71 and their coach, Richard, did not comment further on the reason for this loss. Seeing that the three player were cut off just an hour before the Sunday’s game. Pitino avoided addressing the suspension on his weekly radio show on 1500-am but he had this to say, “When you suspend three guys, that is the talk of everything”.

People who reportedly saw the video included, several users of gopherhole.com and a KSTP-TV sports reporter, Darren Wolfson. Ever since Pitino took over in April 2013, there have been series of player-related troubles. This raises a lot of questions on his credibility.

Zach Lofton was dismissed last season for failure to meet the team’s obligations last season. A month or so later, Daquein McNeil was arrested on allegations of assaulting his girlfriend. Carlos Morris was also dismissed earlier February for detrimental conduct and Dorsey had been suspended on November for failure to meet his academic obligation.

The team however seemed to be turning a corner on Sunday’s game, hopefully to turn around the bad 14 game losing record.
