"But I'm a cheerleader!": Did ASU overreact?

After a so-called "racy" photo of Arizona State University cheerleaders surfaced on a blog called The Dirty (site is somewhat NSFW), the notorious party school's athletic director decided to cut the squad completely. (Only six members of the squad are shown in the photo, but all 16-members will suffer the consequences.) Party foul!

Is it just me or is this just a teensy, weensy bit of an overreaction? I personally know people who went to that school, and some of the things the Greeks on that campus do is 10 times crazier than these vanilla girls taking a goody snap at a cheer/slumber party two years ago (think Old School but more perverse!). Yes, the photo provides a new addition to plenty of people's spank banks (one of our staffers has a new screen saver!!! (kidding)), but come on. Fifteen year old Miley Cyrus can pose nude in a nationally distributed magazine but aged over 18 cheerleaders, who already wear like, nothing on the field anyway, get shut down for this?


What do you think? Did ASU totally overreact, or did the girls deserve to um, naughty jokes aside, get punished?
