Littlefield On Sports: Misbehaving College Athletes
ResumeTwo members of Harvard University's basketball team have been implicated in the scandal in which 125 students in a government class allegedly cheated on a final exam.
According to Sports Illustrated, co-captain Kyle Casey will withdraw from Harvard this year to protect his fourth and final year of Ivy League eligibility. Also implicated in the cheating scandal is co-captain Bradnyn Curry. He will take a leave of absence as well, according to the Boston Herald.
Across the Charles River, Boston University confronted alleged sexual misconduct by its hockey players earlier this month. Last week, a BU task force made a series of recommendations to confront what it called a "culture of sexual entitlement" by some players.
Bill Littlefield joined Radio Boston to reflect on the sometimes complicated and controversial world of sports.
