A former Northwestern football player has come forward with a report of hazing that included alleged sexual violations, The Daily Northwestern reported Saturday. The news comes a day after the school suspended head coach Pat Fitzgerald two weeks without pay when an independent investigation concluded the program participated in hazing. One of the hazing rituals reported was called"running," when freshmen players were hazed after making a mistake.
"It's done under this smoke and mirror of, 'Oh, this is team bonding,' but no, this is sexual abuse," the former player told The Daily Northwestern. The player also alleged that Fitzgerald -- a former NU football star -- may have known that hazing took place. "I've seen it with my own eyes, and it's just absolutely egregious and vile and inhumane behavior," said the player, who added he reported his experiences to the university in late November 2022.
