The Big Lead points us to two news reports out of Arizona that indicate that the cheerleading squad that performed at Arizona State football and basketball games has been eliminated. Arizona State will instead have "spirit squads" that will be led by the band director.

Why the change? It's not entirely clear, but the Fox TV affiliate in Phoenix suggests that it's because TheDirty.com posted photos of Arizona State cheerleaders in their underwear:
The school has cut its cheerleading squad after 'inappropriate' photos were found on The Dirty, a campus blog.

The school's athletic director, Lisa Love, made the decision Thursday evening.

The pictures on the blog featured 6 of the cheerleaders wearing bras and panties.
That report is incorrect in one respect: The Dirty is not a campus blog, it's a gossip web site that has made a huge impact in the sports world recently. Links to previous FanHouse posts about The Dirty and the picture of the cheerleaders, which may be inappropriate for your place of employment, are after the jump.
