"According to the Middlesex Prosecutor's Office, three of the players were charged with aggravated sexual assault, aggravated criminal sexual contact, conspiracy to commit aggravated criminal sexual contact, criminal restraint, and hazing for engaging in an act of sexual penetration upon one of the juvenile victims. One of those defendants and four others were charged with various counts including aggravated assault, conspiracy, aggravated criminal sexual contact, hazing and riot by participating in the attack of some of the victims. The players' charges were first reported on NJ.com.

One or more of the players are accused of holding victims against their will, while others improperly touched victims in a sexual manner. The events occurred during four separate incidents at the school, between Sept. 19 and Sept. 29, according to the prosecutor."

I feel bad for the kids who were victims of the hazing, and for the other players who had nothing to do with it but lost their season. School got it right, though. Hopefully everyone in the community learns a valuable lesson. At my HS a kid took a crap in another player's helmet and some kids thought it was hilarious. The coward never stepped up to admit the repulsive act, but many of the kids in school knew who did it. I never understood why he wasn't expelled. Our team sucked, and he sucked too. Wouldn't have been a loss either way.

Add the NCAA to that too. They basically said it's OK by lifting the punishment.

Sayreville is the town next to mine. This is the same high school where an assistant football coach had to resign less than 2 weeks ago because of steroids. It's been a bad year for Bon Jovi. His daughter goes to the hospital after shooting up heroin, his bid to buy the Bills (and possibly move them to Toronto) implodes, Sambora leaves the band, and now his hometown football team disgraces the community. Who says, you can't go home? #BonJoviJinx

It started 1 1/2 weeks ago when a single game was cancelled due to unannounced reasons. The cancellation of their entire season is just being announced along with Hartsfield having his offer pulled by PSU.

It's a story that's snowballing hoping to catch fire...

Whole season was cancelled last week in a crazy meeting that was all over the news.

Scholly revoke is new.

I stand corrected. Although I don't remember seeing it on the news way down here. Must have been bumped by the menages a trois of a HS teacher with two FB players. It's the South.

It is a little bit of an old story right now. Glad the school board canceled the season they needed too. That story makes your stomach turn

Dear Ped St: when I suggested that you to take note, I meant that you should consider shutting down your football program due to your shameless coverup of P e d o p h I l I a- the thought of you being a judge of the morality of a HS football program is beyond the pale. Please go claw under a rock for 10 years.

The problem for SU is that now PSU will probably go after Dontae Strickland.
