Cape Girardeau, MO (Sports Network) - No criminal charges will be filed
against the 10 football players at Southeast Missouri State whom the
university said hazed teammates.
The university said in a statement that players wrapped the arms, legs and
mouths of some teammates in duct tape before they carried them from the locker
room to the field at Houck Stadium last Friday. Two of the players were duct-
taped together at their waists and legs.
No player was injured. The names of those involved have not been released, but
they may face discipline from the university.
The Cape Girardeau County prosecuting attorney's office has declined to press
charges.
The university instituted a strict anti-hazing policy following a fatal hazing
at a campus fraternity in 1994.
Southeast Missouri State is coached by Tony Samuel, the 2010 Eddie Robinson
Award winner.
