Dan Cotton latest sports scribe to write in praise of hazing

Another reporter tries to present sports hazing in a positive light–Dan Cotton with the Tenn. Titans. He also can’t spell. “Rookie hazing is a rite of passage in the National Football League. The Tennessee Titans took this tradition to a whole knew level.” https://247sports.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/Article/Titans-give-rookies-haircuts-as-part-of-rookie-hazing-120764461/

Read on:

“If you’re not following Pro Bowl left tackle Taylor Lewan on Instagram, you’re simply missing out. Lewan had a couple of Instagram stories from the rookie hazing event that are priceless. Even the vets were not sparred. Lewan caught of video of wide receiver Michael Campanaro being a victim of the haircut crew.

Have to give the rookies credit. They seemed to take the hazing in stride.”

Police know cause of death of Lambda Chi Alpha deceased…but mum about it

Investigators are refusing to release the cause of death for 19-year-old Zach Wardrip, who died inside a Murray State University fraternity house http://www.wpsdlocal6.com/2018/06/13/investigators-withholding-cause-of-death-for-teen-found-in-fraternity-house/

WPSD did an open records request. They report this (excerpt)

MURRAY, KY — Investigators are refusing to release the cause of death for 19-year-old Zach Wardrip, who died inside a Murray State University fraternity house.

Calloway County Coroner Rick Garland says Wardrip’s autopsy and toxicology reports are complete, but Murray police are withholding the information, because they say it’s part of an ongoing investigation. It could be a few more weeks until we know how Wardrip died.

In the meantime, fraternities and sororities at MSU are still not allowed to host any social events. The university says it’s because of multiple incidents that happened during the school year. Through an Open Records Request, we found some of those incidents include alcohol use, hazing allegations, and policy violations.

As part of the suspension, the university has put together a Greek Life Social Standards Committee to investigate current Greek letter groups’ social policies at the school.

MSU President Bob Davies says Greek letter organizations are vital to campus life, and they provide students with leadership opportunities. He says the university is getting some positive feedback on the social suspension decision.
