The Entire Cornell Men's Lacrosse Team Was Suspended For Hazing Allegations Involving Alcohol
The Ithaca Journal reports that the suspension stems from an alleged incident of "coerced consumption of alcohol by underage freshmen" on September 13. According to a statement from Cornell athletics director Andy Noel, the team was placed on a temporary suspension last week and all upcoming games are cancelled, but will now be able to resume practices:
A Cornell spokesperson told the Journal that more details about the alleged hazing will be released in next few days through the university's hazing website.
The Big Red went 14-4 last season, losing to Duke University - the eventual national champion - in the NCAA semifinals.
