University of Texas at Austin suspends Texas Cowboys for 6 years over alleged hazing.
They additionally said they participated in relay races, barrel rolls, bear crawls and human wheelbarrow races and worked on throwing football passes to hit people with accuracy, according to the report. Members stated they were subjected to degradation, including having chips and mustard poured on their shirts before competing in the relay race, according to the report.
The Texas Cowboys' behavior at the retreat, and at the other specific occasions discovered in the course of this investigation, does in fact meet the institutional definition of hazing. The overall plan was to leave the retreat location in the early morning and head back to campus, according to the report, which said several members confirmed they had a sober driver and that none of the members reported being prevented from sleeping during the retreat.
All incoming new member classes of the Texas Cowboys will be required to complete an alcohol education program through the university and must read the book "The Cowboy's Secret" about Gave Higgins, a University of Texas at Austin student who died at his Texas Cowboys new member retreat in 1995.
