I find this deeply disappointing.  I am in SU's pep band, and was in Pittsburgh for the games with the band.  On wednesday we actually ran into several of the Southern Miss band members on the bus on the way back to the zoo.  They were incredibly nice guys, very friendly and down to earth.  We had a decently long conversation with them and got along great.  Funnily enough, on the bus, both of our tuba players were with us, one being a British foreign national who actually has a green card, and the other being black(not that either of these were remotely an issue). 
 
We didn't enter the arena until halftime, so we missed when they did this chant, but I can't imagine it was anything other than a harmless attempt to poke fun at a player, just like uconn stealing laptops, devo hitting women, daddy's boy chants, etc.  Were they classless/in poor taste?  Yeah.  Should they have been reprimanded? Yeah.  Losing scholarships?  No way.  You hear worse coming out of student sections every game.  Hell, at SU the band was ordered to stop playing the Hey song because our students would cheer, "Hey, You Suck -  em up  em up Go SU - We're gonna kick the sh out of you."  You don't see St. Johns taking away scholarships when kids hold up photos of Laurie Fine...
