The Coeur d’Alene Police Department says it's working to determine the “context and conduct” associated with the slur's use to determine if there was a violation of law.

The ugly incident of racism involving the Utah team while they stayed in Idaho has raised questions about how the NCAA selects early-round campus tournament sites, which are not locked in until Selection Sunday while the men's sites — at neutral locations — are chosen years in advance.

Utah coach Lynne Roberts revealed the incidents, and the fact the team changed hotels out of safety concerns, after Utah lost to Gonzaga in the second round of the NCAAs.

“It is a perennial educational challenge to create school environments that value diversity, equity and inclusion. However, the degree of systemic racial harassment and discrimination described by students is extraordinary,” said one of the consultants who worked on the report.

As a result of the investigation, the university says it has lifted a ban on a fan who was identified as directing racial slurs toward Duke sophomore Rachel Richardson during the match.

The university, which is owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has a complicated history with race. It’s also an institution looking to navigate this space on its own terms.

Brigham Young University received national attention after racial slurs were directed at a Duke volleyball player during a match against BYU on Friday.

Rachel Richardson, the only Black starter on the Blue Devils team, says that "no athlete, regardless of their race should ever be subject to such hostile conditions.” BYU banned a fan from all athletic venues on campus on Saturday, a day after the match.

The school year gets underway Monday and follows a two-year Department of Justice investigation over racial discrimination and harassment.

The ceremony was observed at two sites downtown and was part of a memorial project documenting racial terror in the U.S.
