I wonder what the fallout from this will be. The Long Island U basketball team is fairly successful, they go to the tournament frequently. Now four players, including the three leading returning scorers were suspended for a fight at a back to school party. Turns out members of the track team had to go the hospital after the fight, they called authorities and picked the basketball players out of a lineup.
The basketball team was popular on campus, so I worry that the three men and two women they sent to the hospital will be victimized further by students and fans who care more about basketball than about track.

Note: some claims are coming in that the people complaining about the assault were not from the track team.
