After a teenager was found unconscious at the end of the tailgate party last week, Duke University canceled student tailgate activities for the game this Saturday.
In a letter sent by e-mail to all students, Larry Moneta, Vice President for Student Affairs at Duke, said student tailgate "long lost its value as a building activity of spirit pre-football and became increasingly dangerous in each iteration".
"This incident vividly revealed that tailgate, as is practiced in Duke must come to an end," wrote Moneta.Moneta, said that the University would work with students on ideas to celebrate the season 2011 "with the class and the spirit which is known the Duke."
Turns out the "young teen," a sibling of a student of Duke, was discovered fainted in a portable toilet. But without the antics of blue-3D painting of Jackass.
I'm sure that this is not the first time that a teenager got drunk during a tailgate at Duke or any other college with a football program. But, in this case, it seems that the University staff is determined to take a stand against drinking generally smaller.
Thus, the entire tradition of tailgate events at Duke is, at least for now.
This is a case of ' a bad Apple ' or ' the straw that broke the camel's back?
