2003 hazing incident
In August 2003, it was reported that, while at a football training camp, at least three members of the football team were hazed by their fellow teammates. Three members admitted to the acts, two of whom appeared in court. The hazing included anally penetrating the young men with foreign objects, including broom handles, pinecones, and golf balls. The team's season was canceled early, and two coaches were transferred to administrative positions. The incident briefly garnered national notice, including a protest from the members of Westboro Baptist Church in October 2003.
