per the Journal Sentinel:
University of Wisconsin-Madison officials are sending a "clear message" they do not want former Badgers wide receiver Quintez Cephus to return to the university, Cephus' lawyers said Monday.
The decision comes a week after Cephus filed a petition for readmission to the university and two weeks after he was found not guilty of sexual assault. Cephus had requested a response from the university by last Thursday.
Stephen Meyer, one of Cephus' attorneys, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Cephus plans to appeal the decision. He said "the gloves will come off" if UW-Madison Chancellor Becky Blank "doesn't do what's right."
Cephus and members of the UW-Madison football team are holding a news conference on the matter at 4 p.m. Monday in Madison. A spokeswoman for UW-Madison did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
Meyer said Badgers football players also have written a letter to Blank in support of Cephus.
Cephus, 21, of Macon, Georgia, was expelled last semester after being accused of sexually assaulting two women in April 2018. A jury last week found him not guilty of one count of second-degree sexual assault of an intoxicated victim and one count of third-degree sexual assault.
