HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) – Former Yale basketball captain Jack Montague, who was expelled from the Ivy League school in 2016 for sexual misconduct, has enrolled at Belmont University in Tennessee.
Montague, who is still suing to be readmitted to Yale, complained in a court deposition last spring that he was unable to apply to other schools. He said Yale would not release his transcript until he paid a disputed $3,000 tuition bill.
Karen Schwartzman, a spokeswoman for Montague, said Monday that Yale later released the transcript, allowing Montague to enroll at Belmont for the fall semester. She says not all of his credits transferred and he will need two semesters to graduate.
“Although Jack is still seeking, through the litigation, to be reinstated to Yale and to be awarded the Yale degree he had nearly earned at the time of his wrongful expulsion, he is at the same time trying to move on with his life, and completing his college education is a big part of that,” she wrote in an email.
Montague exhausted his basketball eligibility at Yale.
