that's what i suspect. is there student privacy issues where they can't say that's what happened?

I’m fairly certain there are confidentiality rules in place that would prevent them from disclosing if he had been caught cheating, yes. This would be university policy, not specific to the athletic department. I actually think it’s covered under federal law regarding academic records.

That said, even if there weren’t confidentiality requirements, I would not expect the coaching staff to openly state that a player had been caught cheating. You shouldn’t air that kind of dirty laundry.
