Hazing Allegation Suspends Football at Minnesota School

The Elk River (Minn.) High School football program has been suspended - one week before its season opener - following what appears to be a series of hazing incidents. Superintendent Mark Bezek announced his decision to shelve the program "until further notice" in a meeting with about 200 parents and students Wednesday night, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

The move came on the same day a player's parent notified school officials that her son had been a hazing victim, prompting all 54 players on the team to be interviewed. More than a dozen students who might know more were expected to be interviewed today, according to Elk River activities director John Barth - who nevertheless doesn't expect the Elks to miss any games on the gridiron.
