Rehab possibly?

I'm curious on this one though because the university usually says player is suspended due to breaking team rules.

Not only is the program not saying he's suspended due to breaking team rules at this time, they let him remain a member of the program and made no statement at all til the university expelled him for two years.
You can use the old "innocent until proven guilty" defense, but I cited a couple of examples earlier where the SIU basketball program took disciplinary action before any legal proceedings were held. Furthermore, it happens on all levels (i.e. Adrian Peterson not playing in the NFL while his trial is pending).
The lack of transparency on this situation leads me to believe the program was trying to get the university to sweep this under the rug and make it disappear.
I don't think this should be done by any institution with any allegations and I'm glad the university did not do so (especially if the rumors I've heard of what he did are true).
This is going to be a huge black eye for the program and may become much bigger if my beliefs are proven to be true.
