One of the football players has now been allowed readmission to the school without his scholarship, according to the Connecticut Post. He is no longer on the team.
I have no sympathy for anyone in this situation. You have to be pretty evil to make such an accusation falsely and you have to be pretty stupid to fool around with a girl crazy/stupid enough to willingly take on two guys she doesn’t know. If you are stuid enough to do that you get what you get. Don’t stick your dick in crazy.
