79% of College Athletes Experience Hazing, Survey Finds.
Suggs, Welch
Chronicle of Higher Education, v46 n2 pA83 Sep 3 1999
A study of over 2,000 college athletes and 1,600 coaches and administrators reveals that abuse is common in team initiations. Nearly two-thirds of athletes admitted participating in "questionable" behavior, and over one-quarter had participated in dangerous or criminal behavior. Female athletes are almost as likely as males to participate. Only 10% of coaches reported knowledge of hazing activities. (MSE)
