Did those Lacrosse players stay at Duke or did they transfer to another University? And did they ever attempt to sue the professors, faculty, the false accuser, and whoever else all ganged up against them for defamation after it was all done with?

The falsely accused innocent White males have been sacrificed on the altar of political correctness. They would have a long uphill battle to try to recover damages for the deliberate lies, slander and character defamation, since White males are assumed to be always guilty and wrong.

I don’t know where Reade Seligman finished school, but I do know that his senior year definitely didn’t happen at Duke. What a shameful, shameful thing!

Dave Evans was a senior and graduated from Duke but could not attend his graduation ceremony due to security concerns. He was arrested the next day. Reade Seligman and Collin Finnerty had been arrested earlier and suspended. After missing approximately a year of school, they transferred to Brown and Loyola of Maryland, respectively, where they continue to play lacrosse.

The three falsely accused lacrosse players settled with Duke University but are still suing Durham and other parties.

The some of the remainder of the team and the former coach are also plaintiffs in various lawsuits. I think the Wiki link given by Lonesome in MA is reasonably OK.
