I would need to see evidence of the public nudity (females only) or I am not going to believe it happened.

 

[GoBigBlue712]

That’s some UL level stuff there

 

[RoyKent]

Some of this is pretty crazy. Wow, their reign as the top cheerleading program certainly has come to an end.

Yaaaawwwwnnnn college kids drinking and getting naked?? Unheard of.....

JFC this sounds like a massive overreaction.

Yet Kansas can have stripper madness?

News Flash: College athletes are freaks.

 

[Lead Belly]

Yea, it sounds like college kids being college kids. The part about the staff paying athletes to help coach kids and do some other work seemed normal as well. If you're paying them to do legal work, what is the issue? Sounds like UK may have just been digging for excuses to fire them.

while this isn't all that earth shattering...UK has had loooong stances on hazing and alcohol on campus on campus events since the late 80's.
They can't have a double standard for athletics (esp. after a parent complained).
I'm sure the nail in the coffin was running a gym and hiring cheerleaders to work there...we don't want the NCAA sniffing around any of our programs.

hmmmmm, is cheerleading even governed by the NCAA?

Anybody else old enough that their first thought on reading this was being an adolescent boy and seeing the famous 1973 National Lampoon cover of the cheerleader in the twirling skirt who forgot to wear underwear?

i pledged a fraternity in 1994. I was hazed daily, as were all of my pledge brothers. As well, it was perfectly acceptable for me and my friends to travel all over campus in the evenings with open alcohol containers, while campus police watched and stood by. Also, there was a house party nightly in multiple fraternity houses, with as much alcohol as you could hope for, with no issues. I’m not convinced that UKs policy on hazing and alcohol on campus was all that tough before maybe 10 years ago. Surely not since the 80’s.

Pics or it didn't happen.

So most points addressed by KSR were: drinking and nudity at the lake for college students?

Am i missing something? I guess the cause of concern is that these trips were representing the University at these camps. I get it but ill be honest I expected to read much worse.

Nah. UL would have never fired coaches for this.

Exactly. This is normal college behavior.

 

[GoBigBlue712]

True. Probably would have brought in some hookers too

 

[KYWildCatsFan]

Oh, absolutely. Invite family members while they are at it. I'm sure the fathers would love to participate.

OP is the KING of starting threads on stuff that already exists. At this point, I think he is doing it on purpose.

I'd bet 1000 bucks he has people like yourself on ignore.

I am just mad I wasn't invited. I mean I have a boat on Cumberland and would have been more than glad to take them out.

Should call Dawn Duncan Walters immediately. Current UK Dance coach. She was on UK dance team and UK Cheerleader in late 80's. Really want UK Cheer program to stay on top, even though they placed 3rd this year in UCA competition.

it was much different when they first imposed the rule (I guess)...we were watched like hawks...of course, there were some bad hazing accidents around that time and a drunk student was killed crossing the street in front of a car (i actually know the guy that hit and killed the drunk student...it really messed him up)

Disappointing that this will likely end our string of dominance in this sport.

Not necessarily, if they hire the right coaching staff and current cheerleaders leave program.

 

[Blueaz]

Exactly. This is normal college behavior.

i think this may be the bigger problem

The investigation also uncovered potential conflicts of interest for two members of the coaching staff who ran gymnastics businesses that employed members of the cheerleading squad and the advisor, who hired students and coaches to perform work at his home. The Office of Internal Audit is reviewing these and other financial practices of the cheerleading squad.

I agree

 

[Lukasz0brzut]

Fwiw many former UK cheerleaders are very supportive of coaching staff expressing these are false rumors and the coaching staff was nothing but professional.

 

[KyFaninNC]

Dang. Entire UK sports program will be given death penalty by the NCAA. This is just the thing they were looking for.

The issue is not really that they were getting drunk and naked, instead it's the coaches openly observing and allowing underage drinking and public nudity ..both of which are technically crimes.

Everyone knows college kids will do that stuff, but college coaches have to at least pretend not to condone it. Failing to do so can expose the school to potentially serious liability issues.

Why is a topic about cheerleading on a Sports forum? Is there an "entertainment, dancing, music, pop culture page" where this could be discussed. I know cheerleaders become closely associated with actual sport, in this case basketball, much like Dancing Carl or whatever his name was. If the popcorn vendors get in trouble are we going to discuss here?

Aside from jazz hands and spirit fingers I am not sure what they do to be included in a discussion board where athletics and athletes are discussed.

The cheerleaders for our school, which have been the most dominate for 2 decades, have a major situation come up during a time when there is basically nothing else to discuss sports related and you don't understand why?

He just wants to belittle a sport he doesn't like.

Sport?!?! It is an activity that supports the entertainment experience like the Pep Band. Like Pep Band.....Its not a sport.
