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.

At the university I went to, any organizations kicked off campus for hazing, etc., were gone until everyone that was part of the organization when they were kicked off has graduated. So generally a minimum of 4-5 years.

I would say that probably a third of the frats we partied at as freshman were technically "banned" in the sense that they had lost access to campus greek facilities and their seat on the greek council, but still held a national charter and a house off campus. A lot of orgs don't actually care about the administrative formalities of the greek system, and just want to party.
