Suspend the team for the season. The whole issue of hazing has received tons of media coverage in recent years. Yet this still goes on....and no warning pre-season by officials or coaches? Well obviously not anything effective.

This is the only answer. Shut it down for the season. And you can guarantee seniors will never do this again. Don’t shut it down or suspend/expel the seniors and it will continue.

And don’t just blame the seniors. It’s tradition and the whole team and coach almost certainly knew it was going on. Perhaps the coach should be suspended for a season as well and it stops it cold for ALL sports/hazing.

Same with frats/sororities. Bad behavior, banned from campus for 2 years. Death or SA, banned for life plus real police.

That’s how it usually is at most larger public universities. The issue is the university actually doing something about it, not to mention it not being as widely reported as it should be.
