BYU reverses ban on fan after investigation into incident during Duke volleyball game

Brigham Young athletics lifted the ban on the fan who Duke's volleyball team accused of directing racial slurs at a Black player during a game on its campus last month.

In a statement Friday, BYU said its investigation — which involved interviews with more than 50 people who attended the event and reviewing video and audio footage — found no corroborating evidence. It also apologized to the person who was banned.

"As we stated earlier, we would not tolerate any conduct that would make a student-athlete feel unsafe," the statement said. "That is the reason for our immediate response and our thorough investigation."
