N&O followed up today with an editorial on the Boyer incident.
The so-called hazing incident has been under wraps since it occurred. Police were not called at the time and the university provided no details of what happened. Apparently it was all supposed to go away with a sealed agreement and a big check.
This was clearly an incident that the public had a right to know about. How can the football program be held to account if violent, off-field encounters by players are not reported and, when discovered, not discussed?
