Matt has met his obligations to the University during this interim period and, as a result, he will be readmitted as a student and as a member of the basketball team.”
Athletic director Tim Wabler: “Matt has fulfilled the obligations required of him to return to the University as a full-time student, including participation as a member of the basketball program. We are pleased for Matt and his family that he will complete his senior season and graduate from the University of Dayton.”
Kavanaugh: “I am sorry this has impacted so many people, and I’ve learned a great deal in my time away from UD. I’m grateful to the University for the opportunity to return. It is very important to me to graduate as a Dayton Flyer.”
