Ex-Northwestern players hire civil rights attorney
Noted civil rights attorney Ben Crump and a Chicago-based law firm are representing eight former Northwestern football players who are taking legal action against the university for hazing incidents that took place within the program.
Ex-Northwestern players hire Ben Crump, Chicago firm in hazing case
Eight former Northwestern football players have retained noted civil rights attorney Ben Crump and a Chicago-based law firm to pursue legal action against the school for hazing incidents that took place within the program.Crump and the Levin & Perconti firm say they have discovered "a vast array of incidents of abuse" within the Northwestern program. Northwestern conducted a six-month investigation into hazing allegations within the program, announcing July 7 that claims from a former player were largely substantiated but that coaches were not aware of the incidents. After initially suspending head coach Pat Fitzgerald for two weeks without pay, Northwestern fired Fitzgerald on July 10.
"Whether the coaches at Northwestern approved or participated in the harassment of these players or not, they are responsible for allowing and enabling a toxic, disgusting, and damaging culture in their programs," Crump said in a statement. "Sadly, our research suggests that this kind of abuse of student athletes may be far more common on college campuses than we know, because there is tremendous pressure to keep quiet. It's time for a reckoning to protect young athletes."
In a news release, the Levin & Perconti firm stated that it expects more former Northwestern players to join the legal action, which is likely to expand with other college programs. Crump, in 2021, filed a federal lawsuit against Ohio State on behalf of victims who alleged they were sexually abused by former university doctor Richard Strauss.
Just sayin': In addition to Fitzgerald suing NW, the (alleged) hazed players are now suing the school too.

Northwestern to launch 2 reviews into athletics
Northwestern president Michael Schill said the two external reviews are needed to ensure "appropriate accountability for the athletic department."
Northwestern to launch two reviews amid hazing investigations
Northwestern will initiate two external reviews into its athletic department in the wake of investigations into hazing and bullying that resulted in the firing of football coach Pat Fitzgerald and baseball coach Jim Foster.University president Michael Schill, in a letter to Northwestern faculty and staff, said the reviews are needed to ensure "appropriate accountability for the athletic department." One review will examine how Northwestern detects threats to its athletes and implements accountability within the athletic department. The other review will assess "the culture of Northwestern Athletics and its relationship to the academic mission."
Both reviews will be made public, unlike the football hazing investigation and an investigation of bullying and a toxic environment under Foster in the baseball program.

Wrong glass, Sir.
Yeah. This seems like it was much more than some random acts of dry-humping. I don't know if Fitz is going to come out of it looking very good...or very rich.
