The team leader says,” We do not know who said it or saw what was going on to lead you to someone with knowledge of the situation.
An Illinois fan team is “unaware” of reportedly yelled racist slurs directed at Trey Kaufman-Renn’s 13-year-old brother by Purdue University hockey player Trey Kaufman-Renn’s student area.
Additionally, the school has not responded to numerous requests for comment in the last week asking for an upgrade on the research.
In a post-game meeting on March 7, Trey Kaufman-Renn stated that there were some bigoted remarks made toward my nephew as well as my family being abused, and things like that. He claimed that his brother, girl, and mother all showed up for the match against the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. ” I really hope that the safety, especially in Illinois, may become better,” he said.
He addressed the media,” I suppose that’s all I have to say.” He claimed that it was something he had “fight” over.
” The fact that my brother can be in that circumstance is really unbelievable,” Kaufman-Renn ( pictured ) said.
Purdue University, but, stated that it had no information to add when asked why it would not file a report on the incident. It responded that it had no idea why. Purdue “does never try to file a formal document with the Big Ten,” according to a report from Sports Illustrated.
A category like the Great 10…they need to be better, according to Kaufman-Renn.
Trey Kaufman-Renn did not respond to numerous inquiries for details via his private email. The Fix contacted The Fix about specific prejudiced remarks, what he hoped the presidency would do, and for more information. Renn’s phone number and university email address were not included in the university’s open directory.
The Illini Pride Student Athletic Board was “unaware” of these racist remarks. The party has no feedback on the subject, according to President Miranda Ochs. The Orange Krush scholar and fan groups for U of I sports games are among the group affiliations of the sport board.
We don’t understand who said it or what was happening, Ochs said, pointing you in the direction of someone who was aware of the situation.
The University of Iowa athletic department did make a statement that night that read,” Illinois team was made aware of allegations of inappropriate remarks made by Orange Krush people toward Purdue athletes, coaches, and followers.”
We take these claims severely, and we will keep gathering data to determine the best course of action. We have since spoken to Purdue to forgive and communicate our disappointment in the interim,” the statement read.
The UIUC media relations group did not respond to numerous email and voicemail inquiries in the past few weeks. No one in the sport or advertising relations department responded to the phone call. The Fix requested status with the allegations and analysis.
The television commentators did regret for the “language” being picked up during the game, according to a poster on the interview’s picture.
Multiple racist slur allegations against fan groups have proven to be bogus in recent years, as The College Fix has covered thoroughly.
For instance, Rachel Richardson, a volleyball player at Duke University, claimed in August 2022 that she and her other black players were constantly yelled at with racist slurs during a game against Brigham Young University. Richardson claimed that” the insults and feedback grew into dangers which caused us to feel uneasy.”
She would eventually alter her narrative.
However, a thorough analysis of all audio and video recordings made by BYU, including conversations with 50 fans present, and a detailed analysis of all audio and video tapes, determined there was no “evidence to support the claim that followers engaged in cultural heckling or uttered racial insults at the occasion.”
Similar allegations against Pennsylvania State University fans were discredited in 2023, Guilford College in the same year, and Illinois State University in 2024 ( for an incident in December 2023 ).
As The Fix recently reported, allegations of racial insults also broke out at a New Jersey high school wrestling meet a few weeks ago.
Further: Since Trump took office, NIH has given trans research nearly$ 3 million.
