The University of Pacific decided to forfeit a volleyball match against Brigham Young on November 3 due to a Duke University volleyball player’s unproven allegations of racial taunting.
In August, Duke’s Rachel Richardson claimed she was subjected to shouts of the n-word several times during a match between the two schools.
The problem is that an investigation turned up zilch to support those assertions. Despite the investigation’s results, University of South Carolina Women’s Basketball Coach Dawn Staley made news for cancelling her team’s game against BYU, stating she had “vetted” Richardson’s claims.
