The article says he left the team on his own to concentrate on clearing his name, per himself. Sounds like he's trying to get out in front of this. 

  He's either innocent, or going "all in" before the "flop" and trying to bluff his hand. 

Either way it's a bold strategy, Cotton.

Double the flavor double the fun, double the words for some double post fun...

I am innocent of any allegations associated with this consensual relationship

Got it. So if this is like any other normal/non MSU/OSU B1G school, you were probably going to be suspended until the courts figure this out. 

"I realize that I don't have the relationships and political pull that others may have here at the university or with the Dane County District Attorney's office

Do tell...No, Really. Seriously, spill.

Forget the somewhat strange comments by the player.

This appears to be playing out as it should. Player is (or is about to be) charged with DV and he is immediately suspended once the police charge. Player’s scollie is in place and he is given a chance to fight the allegations, but can’t play in the interim. Final decision awaits judicial process conclusion. 

Rational process. Wisconsin has a good track record with player behavior. Let it play out.

I don't know why people keep saying the hit on Newsome was illegal.  It was a perfectly legal hit, delivered the way players are taught to deliver them.  The fact that Newsome's knee went backward was just rotten f'in luck as a break of timing (when and where his foot planted in the normal course of running).  And if you say it was illegal ("cheap" being nothing more than a replacement word for 'illegal'), then you're saying that kid intentionally went in to injure Newsome.  That's a stretch that I call total bullshit.

Now, if you want to say the hit is of the type that should be illegal, okay.  That's an argument we'll agree on...

Cheap is not a replacement word, it is the correct word to use, because it was a cheap shot.  Say it was a "legal" block all you want, it was a cheap shot.

 

All of the other nonsense that you spouted about intent to injure, bad luck and calling bullshit...well that is like your opinion man...and all bullshit.

 

Don't tell a guy that calls something cheap, that he really meant illegal, just so that you can frame your argument around.

Bucky's5thQuarter just wrote a story posted this morning singing the praises of Cephus's play in fall camp..then this story breaks.  And the first comment about his possible legal problems is a real doozy:

#Metoo Movement is out to destroy men

It’s time to stand up for our men with #MGTOW. No more will these gold digging whores be given power to say or do whatever they want. They should go to prison for these false allegations. If found innocent Q could still suffer major backlash from this in his career and socially for the rest of his life.

They can take our lives but they can never take our freedom.

Edit: I guess Bucky deleted the above response as it no longer shows up. (And hurray! the edit function has returned!)
