An Illinois fans group is “unaware” of racial slurs targeting Purdue University basketball player Trey Kaufman-Renn’s 13-year-old brother which were allegedly yelled from its student section.
Furthermore, the university has not responded to multiple requests for comment in the past week asking about an update on the investigation.
“There was some racist comments being said towards my brother, as well as my family being cussed out, stuff like that,” Trey Kaufman-Renn said in a post-game interview on March 7. He said his mom, girlfriend, and brother attended the game against the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. “I just hope that the security, especially at Illinois, can be better.”
“I guess that’s all I have to say,” he told the press. He said it is something he would “fight” about.
