Excerpt here:
As a result of the investigation, Catholic has forfeited three games played after the incident occurred in the spring, the women’s lacrosse team was placed on probation for the upcoming season, and the university will require all student athletes and coaches to attend classes educating them on the dangers of hazing.
The New Orleans Saints, the team that once was humiliated under then-Coach Mike Ditka when rookies
Jeff Danish and Cam Cleveland were pummeled in a gang-like hazing, have begun the custom again in a minor way.
HAZY ON HAZING: Reggie Bush may have a new $62 million contract and the attention of the sporting world, but that doesn’t exempt him from rookie hazing.
The Saints’ top pick has been made to carry pads by his teammates and he had to perform a song recently for the veterans with the other rookies.
When asked about his performance, Bush showed his trademark elusiveness: “It was nothing special.”
He flashed an embarrassed grin as reporters prepared to ask for more details, at which point a New Orleans public relations deftly threw a block and ended Bush’s media session.
Update bulletin: Police today have said that hazing was not involved. I don’t have any other details as of this morning (Aug. 8).
