The story speaks more to the stupidity of the lacrosse team than anything else. If you rent a house you've never seen (in person or even a photo) expecting it to be a certain way because of what's in the movies, I can't imagine how anybody should be expected to give a rat's ass when you get a dump.
Or if you rent a house whose upkeep is restricted by both the annual budget of the active chapter... and the expoitive bylaws of the local community (this is the biggie... if they rent) - then hey suddenly you've conviently, somehow, gotten more fuel for the "students are bad", "educated people ain't all that smart", and "us right thinking townies have always been right" attitude.... now golly gee how did that happen?
