Big Wake Forest Basketball Scandal?

By Nate, on May 17th, 2011 | 7 comments

On Thursday morning a former Wake Forest student will appear on NBC’s The Today Show to talk about an alleged sexual assault. According to the Wake Forest fan blog Blogger So Dear, the student will claim that she was raped by two members of the Wake Forest basketball team in 2009. The alleged incident occurred in Miami, Florida the night before the basketball team was set to play Cleveland State in the in the first round of the 2009 NCAA Tournament. They lost to Cleveland State, 84-69.

This is an extremely serious accusation, and the fact that this young woman is going on national television to tell her story is huge. But there are two sides to every story and hopefully everyone has learned from the whole Duke Lacrosse case not to rush to judgement, and no player has been named. However, if this turns out to be true….we will just have to wait and see what happens.

That team started off 16-0 and was ranked number one at one point during the year before collapsing at the end of the season. Dino Gaudio was fired as head coach a year later.

Oh man. Maybe this is why Dino was canned?

durham, get your facts straight … this chick was clearly not underage.

On another note, looks like I’ll be attending the ACC/B1G challenge at the RBC Center this year, as my wife is an IU grad… she’ll probably make me wear IU gear, blech.
