Badger.jpg University of Wisconsin Badgers Band was Suspended Instead of the UW Marching Band on Saturday, it was AC/DC and Black Sabbath. Fans still cheered wildly at the University of Wisconsin football team's first Big Ten Conference home game. Blaring horns and bass drum beat, however, were conspicuously absent after band director Mike Leckrone suspended the band indefinitely Friday because of serious hazing allegations. Officials continued to be tight-lipped about the allegations that led to the suspension, which Leckrone said were alcohol-related and involved "inappropriate sexual behavior." We had dancing and disrobing taking place that made some people feel not only uncomfortable but also unsafe," [assistant to the chancellor Casey] Nagy said. ... In addition to inappropriate dancing from semi-nude band members, Nagy said one band member had his head shaved in an apparent hazing incident. The "clear impression," he said, was that the individual would have preferred to keep his hair 3 page article here http://bit.ly/160a7M Here's a Article with an Audio clip

  • Well when someone has to go to ICU information will leak out fast! Hazing and Brutality are two different things! Hazing doesn't have to be physical! Great hazers don't even have to touch a person, now if you don't know what the f_ck you're doing,just showing off and not trying to teach anything that's a different story and it seems that's happening a lot these days! When you just go to meetings to whup up on someone because you received the same treatment and at the same time you don't have a clue why are you doing it, you're just trying to fit in with everyone else to make you seem raw, that's when the sh!t hits the fan!
  • i totally agree with you....except for the dread statement...lol..my dreads do not look dirty if i may say so myself
