UW band suspended, won’t play Saturday’s game

University of Wisconsin band dirctor Michael Leckrone announced Friday that the famed UW marching band has been suspended for Saturday night’s nationally television game against Ohio State and won’t play again until an investigation into allegations of hazing and inappropriate sexual activity is finished.

Leckrone and UW Dean of Students Lori Berquam declined to say where the latest alleged incidents occurred or talk in specifics about the allegations, but Leckrone said they involved “inappropriate alcohol use, hazing and sexual behavior.”
