Two years ago, the Duke University men’s lacrosse team found itself entrenched within a rape scandal after a stripper accused three of the team’s players of raping her at a house party.
A year later, the charges were dropped, and the three students walked away scot-free.
Still, the memory of that case lives on today through this video that h...
There are several great things you can learn about from your friends: hot new bands, hot new freshmen, almost anything really. Perhaps, however, colleges ought not have been so keen on acting like lemmings and treating Yale like the cool, pretty cheerleader in high school, because now they’re suffering. Back in the day, Yale was all over the alt...
Two questions I am often asked by people who don't go to Chapel Hill are "Do you know Tyler Hansbrough?" (no.) and "What's a Tar Heel?" Carolina isn't the only school in the ACC with an obscure mascot. Here are the stories behind the Tar Heels, the Demon Deacons, the Blue Devils, the Wahoos, and the Hokies.
University of North Carolina Tar He...
It must be in their genetic makeup, alongside the the DNA that makes them want to belt it out for Paula and Company on Fox: those American Idol ladies are all over the guys from The Bachelor. First, there was Jennifer Hudson and David Otunga, now it’s Carrie Underwood and Travis Stork. Media gossips (like CollegeOTR, apparently) are reporting th...
She’s back. Crystal Mangum, the notorious Duke lacrosse accuser, appeared in public today for the first time since that whole player-life-ruining brouhaha two years ago. What’s the occasion? Promoting her book, but of course.
In the book she writes: “I want to assert, without equivocation, that I was assaulted.” What she can’t say without equi...
Dear College OTR readers,
The time has finally come. Clay Aiken has come out of the closet.
Perez Hilton has the cover of the newest People magazine which features Aiken, his new child and the headline “Yes, I’m Gay.” (Sidenote: So unoriginal, People. Remember Lance Bass’s own cover proclaiming, “I’m Gay”?)
So why is that of importance fo...
Many colleges have been embroiled in controversy over the alleged offensiveness of their mascots. Just last year, University of Illinois’ Chief Illiniwek performed his last mascoting duties due to opposition by Native American activist groups.
Now a new controversy is cropping up. A Christian group wants Duke’s Blue Devils name gone because th...
While relics from our past, like New Kids On The Block and Backstreet Boys, are resurfacing, another old favorite is biting the dust. MTV is pulling the plug on TRL, with its last episode scheduled for November.
Who knew the show was even still on the air?
Back in the day, TRL defined “cool” and launched the careers of stars like Britney Sp...
Some colleges' t-shirts can be worn almost anywhere: App State shirts are OK anywhere except at UMich and you can't go wrong with Virginia Tech. But at Carolina, some there are some school shirts that you do not want to be seen in.
7. Maryland: This one is on the fence. That loss last season in the Dean Dome shouldn't have happened (mainly ...
You don’t have to go to law school to know that Duke’s football team can legally be said to suck. But lawyers for the school, who did go to law school, proved just that in a recent court case.
The school faced a costly lawsuit after backing out of a contract to play a four-game series against the University of Louisville. The deal was that Duk...
