What to know about football hazing scandal

Reports of football player hazing have sent shockwaves across Northwestern University, resulting in the firing of head coach Pat Fitzgerald.

Here’s what to know about reaction from former players and students, as well as issues in the baseball program and what’s next for the university and its athletic department.

Pat Fitzgerald was fired as Northwestern football coach July 10 after a hazing scandal tarnished the program he helped build.

In a statement emailed to the university community, President Michael Schill said he told Fitzgerald on Monday afternoon “he was being relieved of his duties effective immediately,” citing a “broken” culture in the program.

“The damage done to our institution is significant,” Schill said, “as is the harm to some of our students.”
