University of Wisconsin football coach Bret Bielema closed the door on any possibility fifth-year senior defensive end Jamal Cooper will return to the team.
Bielema announced Friday in a news release that Cooper “had been suspended indefinitely from the program for conduct detrimental to the team,” which appeared to leave open the possibility of Cooper returning to the team at some point. However, the same release also said Cooper “will have access to full academic support services, but will no longer be a part of the football program in any other way.”
Bielema cleared up the confusion during his Monday news conference.
