I am sure all of you are already aware of the breaking news, but if not, Matt Kavanaugh has been suspended for the academic year and will no longer be part of the UD basketball team.
Doogie reports the University confirming that Kavanaugh “is suspended for the remainder of the academic year as a result of violations of the University of Dayton Standards of Behavior and Code of Conduct.Therefore, he will not play on the basketball team this season. Privacy requirements prohibit us from commenting further on this matter.”
There have been all sorts of rumors floating around in recent months about an incident on campus involving a female freshman student. We are not going to go into detail about what we have heard, but let’s just say that Kav is lucky that a suspension from the basketball team is the only thing that has happened to him.
So what does this mean for the season? We are not really sure. Kavanaugh had a break out year (by UD standards) last season and was looking to add onto that momentum this year. More minutes for UD’s other bigs, a cut to Dayton’s frontcourt depth. Yes and Yes.
Esteemed WHIO journalist/reporter/UD alum John Bedell added a bit more color to the situation:
Here’s how I imagine Archie’s meeting with Kav went this morning:
Archie: Matt, thanks for coming to my office so early this morning. As I’m sure you’ve already heard from Mr. Wabler, due to these allegations, your time here at Dayton is over. I just want to say —- wait, are you…are you masturbating?
Kav: (sheepishly) Yeah.
Um this is Blackburn Review, go into the details of what you heard. Ethics? For shame.
I guess he’s a “crying on the inside” kind of clown?
Well done, as always.
JUST WHAT I HEARD,IT MAY NOT BE TRUE…Two times he sexually assaulted a female student. Apparently, the first incident happend on July 17th and then again on the 19th. After the second incident the student reported the assault. The prosecuters office apparently felt they didn’t have enough evidence to charge him with anything. He’s very lucky!
The prosecutor decided not to press charges when it was determined Kav is almost always out of control when taking it to the hole.

At first I started to write what a sad day it is.
Then I thought, what if this guy really did something bad?
Then i decided not to write anything at all.
Then I read what T-Rex wrote and I laughed my ass off.
It’s official.
My period of grief is over.
“Lots of rumors going around on campus above and beyond the initial allegations. If any of them are true then some serious counseling is needed and I hope that he gets it. .”
Anyone know what these additional rumors are?
Take it for what its worth, but rumor has it, something happened in Daytona as well.. Daytona police are all over this…
I heard some stories about Kav in Daytona — that wouldn’t surprise me.
Todd Akin wants to know if it was legitimate rape… if not, Kavs should be allowed back on the team
Is this just coicidence?
“The Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office met with the University of Dayton Department of Public Safety on Thursday, Sept. 6, regarding the case of two alleged rapes reported to UDPD in August, according to a prosecutor’s office spokesperson.
The prosecutor’s office will likely decide on charges later this week, said Greg Flannigan, a representative of the prosecutor’s office.
The two alleged rapes involve the same two UD students, one male and one female, according to Randall Groesbeck, director of administration and security for UD Public Safety. The first alleged rape occurred around midnight on Aug. 18 on Kiefaber Street. The second alleged rape occurred shortly after midnight on Aug. 20 in the Caldwell Apartments, and was reported to police shortly after 2 a.m. The Kiefaber Street incident was then reported to police on the morning of Aug. 21.”
Um, not a coincidence at all.
Funny the elected montgomery county prosecutor has season tickets directly behind UD’s bench.
So, is he just kicked off the team? Or is he kicked off the team and expelled fron school?
both
No – neither. He is suspended from the school for the remainder of the academic year, so he can’t play on the team. He can apply for reinstatement after the end of the academic year. I don’t know if he loses his NCAA eligibility.
Matt, you could appeal this down to a four game suspension. Get a hair cut and suit, marry a nurse. You’ll be ok.
Can someone confirm that MK was wearing a clown costume at the scene of the alleged crime?
Hey…leave my bro alone!

You all should be ashamed of ourselves. You call yourselves fans of Dayton basketball?If any of you knew Matt you would know he could never hurt a fly. Matt is a great guy and has added so much to the team. I for one will miss rooting him on every game.
MK could be rooting you!
Good troll. (I’m assuming?)
Dez Wells is a rapist and is the reason why Xavier is evil.
Matt K is the victim and UD would never bring in an “athlete” with character issues. (Especially BG, he is really good guy.) UD was forced to make this move because of lawyers and the media.
Two words…London Warren
He looks like the type of guy who can’t handle letting a boner go to waste. His pecker needs its own twitter feed.
You are disgusting
Pat, it was just an observation. I didn’t ask for your opinion… jeez!
Then don’t post things on blogs. Keep your despicable and asinine thoughts to yourself.
Pat, if you don’t think MK looks like a serial masturbator, then you need to get your eyes checked.
YES! We must keep our dirty little satiric website clean from the defiling spunk of bad humor.
Quit being butthurt Pat, it’s the fucking internet, not an elementary school playground.
Who can blame Kav, really? I’m sure his coaches have been yelling at him to take it hard to the hole for years. He was just trying to get into mid-season form early.
Had the unfortunate opportunity to spend a lot of time with kav during my years at UD, kid is a grade A douche
Don’t be so hard on the kid, if I had a face like Kavs I would have to rape every now and then to get a nice piece of ass.
Well this whole situation explains why sitting down has been uncomfortable the last 7 years.
