All dynasties come to an end -- the cheerleading world just got ROCKED!

Quote:UK Provost David W. Blackwell said the review found:
• During a team retreat at Lake Cumberland, some cheerleaders performed gymnastics routines that including hurling their teammates from a dock into the water while either topless or bottomless. The routines, known as “basket tosses,” were done at the direction of other members of the squad and within the view of at least some of the coaches;
• Coaches allowed cheerleading alumni to bring boats and alcohol to the retreat, where some cheerleaders were partially naked and/or drinking while riding on boats;
• Coaches did not confiscate alcohol brought to the retreat by some squad members or intervene to stop students from consuming alcohol. Several squad members became so intoxicated they required medical treatment; and
• During a cheerleading camp in Tennessee, some cheerleaders were directed by other members of the squad to perform lewd chants and wear outfits that did not include underwear.

Real reason: they lost to UCF. We get all the coaches fired.

When basketball violations mount, fire the cheerleading coaches.

Here is the report. Sounds like another case of lawyers destroying good old-fashioned fun:

The cheerleaders wearing no underwear while singing in Tennessee were males. And they had pants or shorts on. Sorry to disappoint everyone here.

About the basket tosses:

Quote:A cheerleader tradition that developed over the years at the annual retreat was for some cheerleaders to perform the basket-toss stunt from the dock with the cheerleader being thrown from the basket into the water. The tradition is for freshman cheerleaders, new cheerleaders, and anyone who could not safely do the basket-toss on land to have the experience of doing the basket-toss and landing in the water. Other cheerleaders also participated in the basket-toss stunt.

During the investigation, it came to light that some team members voluntarily, or through peer pressure, did the basket-toss stunt either topless (females) or bottomless (males). Two team members stated in their interviews that they did a basket-toss while topless, 11 stated that they observed a topless or bottomless basket-toss during their time on the team, and seven individuals stated that although they had not done or seen one done they had heard about others engaging in topless or bottomless basket-tosses. There is no indication that the individuals engaging in this behavior found it to be unwanted or unwelcome.

I can't imagine, in this day and age, that this wouldn't have been recorded for posterity by someone with a smart phone. In the interest of full transparency, I demand that we see the video evidence before condemning this vigorously.
