A 100+ person annual event goes on and they're supposed to watch over every single person? Sure it's not completely innocent but I would put most blame on the person who was transported as well as their close friends. Different event group, different gender, multiple years younger, I don't think the senior xc guys hold full accountability on 1 person who took it too far. For the record, the event was less so a party and more a 'homecoming'-esque get together primarily consisted of a slideshow for the new comers. Alcohol was just on the side and a single person had too much while 50% of the crowd were sober Sallys.
For all you talking down on those guys, it's clear you have never met them. They are great people and loved by the whole team, who unanimously agrees they unfairly had to take the bullet. As for missing out on Nuttycombe (and thus "not being able to qualify for nationals"- likely wouldn't have anyway), I don't think that was nearly as evil as taking back scholarships.
2 of the guys literally lost their 5th year scholarship (like 100k!) over this bs. That's a life changing punishment for something as redundant as hosting some annual event (which they were reluctant to do, and pressured because the track team had no other option). Every single person on the team disagreed with their scholarships being revoked, other than Wilbourn who could use it on some precious pre-developed grad transfers that could bring them ACC points to finish in the top 10 next year (since he can't develop them himself). In fact, it's highly speculated that it was all part of the coach's plan to get back scholarship money and were looking for an excuse. Don't listen to these guys saying otherwise, they clearly had no relation to the team (or are maybe the coach's themselves- I know they are LR frequenters).
