DUKE SETTLES WITH PLAYERS

Duke University has reached an undisclosed financial settlement with three former lacrosse players falsely accused of rape.

Duke had suspended Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty and Dave Evans after they were charged last year with raping a stripper at an off-campus party. The university also canceled the team's season and forced their coach to resign.

"We welcomed their exoneration and deeply regret the difficult year they and their families have had to endure," the school said Monday in a statement. "These young men and their families have been the subject of intense scrutiny that has taken a heavy toll."

The players made a joint statement following the announcement. WHAT THEY SAID: They said that they hoped the agreement would "begin to bring the Duke family back together again."

WHAT THEY MEANT: “F%#& YOU!!!!”


We don’t mean to beat a dead horse, but how about a settlement for Mike Pressler? Anybody?
