Nice insight, but I want to know what you would do if you were the principal of this school?
It depends ... context is everything. First consideration is community mores ... in a cosmopolitian, liberal city such as Austin, something like this likely would be a non-event; 90 miles away in a small, Bible-belt town like Crawford (home to W and Ted Nugent), parents and community members would probably be in an uproar. So, the question here is whether or not the incident actually is having a negative impact on the team and the controversy is interferring with the team discipline and morale.
Other considerations include what the code of conduct says (is off campus behavior specifically covered?), the discipline history of the kids involved (is this a second or third offense?), how other, similar events have been handled at this particular school (what punishment did the drunk-in-public star quarterback receive?), what the coach and athletic director want (they are the ones who make the original decision about such things; the principal is typically the first line of appeal), whether or not any of the kids involved are served through special education (federal guidelines kick in about due process), how the information about the pictures came to the attention of school authorities (was another student deliberately trying to get these girls in trouble or kicked off the team?), and so forth.
And ... if the girls are under 18, the pictoral "evidence" in this case is arguably considered child pornography, so everyone involved needs to be super careful about how it is handled and who has access.
Blueskies?
I think when I was in school half the girls would have been banned
