2015 incident
In December 2015 several members of the basketball team arrived in Gatlinburg, Tennessee for a tournament. On the night of December 19, several older members dunked four freshman players in a hot tub. The next night, older players began poking pool cues in four of the freshmen's rectums. Three nights later, one freshman player was assaulted in the rectum, and required emergency surgery. The following January, the school's basketball season was cancelled, and in August 2016, all three defendants were found guilty of aggravated rape and assault. The event made national news.
