Is the university liable for what members of the football team do? What about the band? Members of the Sierra club? I'm not trying to be a smartass, I honestly don't know.

I don't know about the Sierra Club, but if an official, school-sanctioned group like the football team or the band hazes and hurts someone, yes, the university has risk exposure.

I would distinguish the band and the football team from the Sierra Club because the band and football team are institutions of the school and employees of the school are in charge. The Sierra Club maybe meets in the student union and holds events on campus, but they likely have some faculty sponsor who signs off on whatever they want to do without giving things a second thought.
