EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) - Northwestern University suspended its women's soccer team Monday while the school investigates alleged hazing involving players last year.

The school learned of the allegations Monday, athletics director Mark Murphy said in a statement. "If the investigation shows that there has been a violation of Northwestern's policies, appropriate sanctions will be imposed and the Athletic Department may take additional action as well," Murphy said.

The statement did not provide details about the alleged incident, and a Northwestern spokesman Alan Cubbage said the school would not comment further.

A Web site on Monday displayed pictures allegedly of Northwestern soccer players in T-shirts and underwear, some wearing blindfolds and others with their hands tied behind their backs. Other women had words or pictures scrawled on their bodies and clothes, and it appeared some were drinking alcohol.

My favorite one is the chick with the pink panties. She some nice legs and a cute butt.

If I were only 20 again. They didn't look that good when I was 20.

As physical activity goes, nothing like this. She was hot too.

I was looking on the web for you, there is this picture of these three coeds at Ohio State that had written "beat Michigan" on particular part of their body.

well certainly having to go through that type of thing in order to play a university supported sport seems a bit out of line.

Agreed. If its mandatory that's different - then its coercion rather than consensual.

Hazing seems like the dumbest thing ever. Why not just ignore the newbies?

I am outraged. Just outraged. Women these days do not know how to behave.

I'm pretty good at spotting naked female flesh and I don't see anything untoward here. Maybe my eyes are failing me.

I don't know.
How some very unexceptional and normal "initiation" rites became brutal and cruel, A.K.A., hazing, is beyond me. NO DOUBT they had MUCH to do with the youth of these people and drinking.

I'm sure that a hands-on inspection would be more revealing. And fun.

Oh wait: giggly freshmen, just out of highschool? Maybe not....
