The University of New Mexico punished coach and players alike after off-campus, alcohol-related hazing went wild. Police say they could file felony charges.

Worse, the UNM soccer handbook seems to condone so-called “putting rookies in their place.” Liability issue?

Two players (twin sisters) have left the squad.
