Louisville beat Wake Forest 44-12 this past Saturday, though it was a classic “closer than the score appears” game. Wake was winning 12-0 at one point, and went into the fourth quarter up 12-10 before Louisville blithely stepped on the gas. Nonetheless, it would have been a mere footnote of a game if not for what happened afterward.
According to various reports, Wake Forest coaches discovered after the game that Louisville had left documents around their home stadium that showed they were aware of plays that Wake Forest had never previously run in a game. Per Dan Wolken of USA Today:
Wake Forest football staff members discovered materials left behind by Louisville last Saturday that showed the Cardinals were prepared for plays the Demon Deacons had not run before, raising suspicions of a security breach, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports.
Four Purdue football players have been accused of sexual assault by two female students and have been suspended from the team, lawyers for the two women announced today.
The alleged assault happened on Oct. 13, at an off-campus house where the players lived, and was immediately reported to police as well as Purdue officials, according to the attorneys. The local paper, the Lafayette Journal & Courier, reported that day on a police investigation but got very few details from authorities, except that a sexual assault had been reported and was being investigated. Police at the time did not say that the investigation involved members of the football team.
