Fitzgerald has been fired.Things are not going well at Northwestern…
On Friday they announce Fitzgerald has been suspended for two weeks amid allegations of hazing within the program. Their report found that while he had no involvement, he should have been aware. Then on Saturday more information came out from the whistleblower and NU came out with a statement that they will be reassessing the situation.
As of today there are now reports of this hazing going back to at least 2007 and allegations of racism within the program.

And not just to limit it to the football program, today allegations came out against the baseball coach over sexism, racism, telling players not to seek treatment, and running someone much in the same way a player died at Rhode Island while he was there. How did the coach respond? “Maybe the players just aren’t good enough and are making excuses.”

No conservative should ever be employed in any capacity in which they have supervision over other people. Between animus and ineptitude, they are a bad risk.
What are you talking about?
I agree, but fail to see how this relates to pat Fitzgerald.
Just something that needs to be said repeatedly.
Fitzgerald has been fired.
Sounds like the institution was firmly in control, to orchestrate that many violations…..
How awful must it feel to cheat so much and still suck so bad?
The Tennessee football program avoided a bowl ban but was fined more than $8 million by the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions, which announced its punishment for the Volunteers on Friday after finding more than 200 individual infractions committed by the school during former coach Jeremy Pruitt's tenure.
Among the penalties handed down, Tennessee has been placed on five years' probation, was given an $8 million fine among other financial penalties that will push the total closer to $9 million and will see a total reduction of 28 scholarships.
Tennessee had been charged with 18 Level 1 violations -- the most severe in the NCAA rules structure -- in July 2022. Included among the more than 200 infractions were charges of $60,000 in impermissible benefits and both Pruitt and his wife, Casey, making cash payments to players' families.
BUT, Tennessee was not charged with a lack of institutional control
More updates regarding Northwestern football. Some of the shenanigans happened during training camp held in Wisconsin. On that part they should possible be forgiven because, well, that state is a bad influence on most people.
Coach Jim Harbaugh and multiple staff members are facing suspensions due to program recruiting violations.
Honestly it would be more shocking if any Div I coaches weren't doing this.
