Seems like they should be suspended
Was the picture of Will Leer?
What about having fun in life? My goodness.
Yes they shouldn't have 'assaulted' an employee but holding someone down while you take a photo is called being stupid in college, not an assault.
When I was a senior in college, me and the fun roommate were shooting fireworks out the dorm window. Our "responsible"roommate said, "Are you guys crazy? You could hit someone or start a fire and be expelled." We turned to each other and said, "Damn. He's right. We hadn't thought of that."
Now 20 years later, I can't remember if we kept shooting them off. I actually believe we did as it was fun.
The kid who was "assaulted" sounds like a snowflake.
Damn that’s hilarious!! These guys are legends!
You think not liking being held down by drunk naked guys is being a 'snowflake'? Wow.
Punish the six athletes, leave the overall teams alone. Why is this more complicated than that? 114 athletes (including the women's team) being suspended for a prank by six guys on the men's team seems extreme to me.
Naked runs were a rite of passage for many of us, but it's risky business just on it's own. Combining the streaking with touching other people is straight up stupid. Can't complain about getting in trouble for that. I don't see why the women's team would be suspended due to the actions of the men's team, though. That's bullsh*t.

Agreed, no need to punish everyone. Also, its still alleged. If there's an investigation underway hopefully the real story comes out (if it differs from the allegations)
yes, that sounds like perfectly normal behavior. Why should society be concerned about 6 dudes freeing their willies and stealing a photo? That dude who got held down should feel honored to be part of this celebrated running ritual.
What a failure of a program.

Most hurt are the women and children.

Yikes, snowflake alert.
Agree, no biggie.

Are you sure they were fat, drunk, and stupid?

"Not liking" something does not make you a victim of a terrible crime. Man the world can suck these days. I only went through university a few years ago and even then something like this would have been considered funny. I can see minor punishment from the university to maintain order but suspending the entire team and getting the police involved? What a joke.
Stuff happens when you party naked.
Not long time ago fraternities would send streakers with masks on through major freshman course exam halls at my former university. Even the most pretentious professors would crack a grin.
