Another year, more allegations of hazing at a university. This time it comes from North Carolina and their football team. The allegation is that it started innocently and ended in a group assault:
“We are aware of an incident involving members of the UNC football team that took place earlier this month. We take this allegation seriously and the University is conducting a thorough review,” Kevin Best, North Carolina’s assistant athletic director for communications, said in a statement to Yahoo Sports.
During the first week of August, redshirt freshman walk-on wide receiver Jackson Boyer was involved in an alleged physical altercation with multiple teammates in his room at the Aloft hotel in Chapel Hill where the team was staying during fall camp, sources told Yahoo Sports. The incident allegedly left Boyer with a concussion, sources said.
At this point we don’t know enough to call it hazing or not. Boyer could have gotten into a fight with teammates or it could have been some sort of hazing ritual that he felt went too far.
We will keep you updated as things unfold.
