Brigham Young University reportedly announced today it found no evidence a fan hurled racial slurs at a Black volleyball player during a match against Duke University last month after concluding an investigation into the allegations.
A Black player with Duke University’s women’s volleyball team said she and her fellow Black teammates were subjected to racial slurs and heckling from a fan in the stands throughout the match on Aug. 26 in Provo, Utah.
