Season Canceled for Oregon Frisbee Team

A club sports governing body at the University of Oregon upheld its decision to cancel the rest of its men's ultimate Frisbee team's season after receiving complaints that some members of the team played naked in a "very informal" intrasquad game at an Oregon State tournament in early April, the Oregon Daily Emerald reports.

The Oregon team, which is ranked third in the nation, plans to appeal the decision again, but it's very unlikely the team will be allowed to play in the regional tournament this weekend, despite letters of support from other Frisbee teams and apologies from team members and its chaperone.

The team was already under scrutiny for several speeding tickets and alcohol-related offenses, including one that resulted in a $1,000 fine from the city and put the team on probation from club sports.
