As far as I know, Masotta was fined $1,000 in court. The other two voices on
the recording couldn't be positively identified, so they weren't fined, but
the judge said that if voices 2 and 3 had any conscience, they would kick in
$250 each. I don't know if the school has taken any action, but I'm pretty
sure I read that they were all booted from the team. Walsh had come out pretty
strongly against their actions early on.
