2003 hazing incident

In August 2003, it was reported that, while at a football training camp, at least three members of the football team were hazed by their fellow teammates.

[cite web|url=http://www.hanknuwer.com/hs2|title=High School History of Hazing 1905-2007|accessdate=2007-12-05] The team's season was canceled early, and two coaches were transferred to administrative positions. The incident briefly garnered national notice, including a protest from the members of Westboro Baptist Church in October 2003.
