And they did put off revealing the find. It was discovered on January 14. I believe the police only started to talk about it after the CBC ran a story on it. And there was no mound of dirt. Whoever did this manged to take the dirt away. ---

Do they have fraternities at that university? Perhaps someone was testing just what they can get pledges to do. ---

> [@Leaffan](#): > > And there was no mound of dirt. Whoever did this manged to take the dirt away. From the OP’s linked article: _When a Toronto and Region Conservation Authority officer spotted a large mound of soil in the area just south of Rexall’s tennis courts, alarm bells went off._ See, that’s how they discovered it… it had alarm bells. ---

Actually, they showed the mound of dirt on the tv coverage the police filmed. And it was substantial, in equal measure to the tunnel. How would the cbc know if the cops were not releasing any info, and only they knew about it? ---
