If it was only a 2 week suspension after an investigation it wasn't a DUI, a public fight or sexual harassment.

Probably tolerating mild hazing.

Did he make a kid sit in a shed or something ??

 

[Red_Alert]

Seems like upperclassmen hazing the noobies like a fraternity.

Tighty whitey snuggies.

Ain't no room for that in the B1G. Boot 'em.

 

[SoonerC]

I’m guessing he hazed them cuz their grades weren’t good enough

A 2 week suspension? That's nothing. Maybe he smoked a cigarette too near an exit.

Basically Northwesterns investigation concluded that Fitz had no knowledge of the hazing, but suspended him bc he should have had knowledge of the hazing

This is messed up. From The Daily Northwestern:

If a player was selected for “running,” the player who spoke to The Daily said, they would be restrained by a group of 8-10 upperclassmen dressed in various “Purge-like” masks, who would then begin “dry-humping” the victim in a dark locker room.

"It's done under this smoke and mirror of 'oh, this is team bonding,' but no, this is sexual abuse," the player said.

The Daily obtained a video of a player clapping his hands during a game, which the anonymous player said was the same motion taken to signify “running.”

According to the player who spoke with The Daily, Fitzgerald repeatedly made the signal during practices when players, specifically freshmen, made a mistake.

The player believes some players interpreted Fitzgerald making these signals as knowingly “encouraging” the hazing to continue.

“Everyone would just be looking at each other and be like ‘bro, Fitz knows about this,’ because you wouldn’t take that action otherwise,” the player said. “Everyone joins in, because he’s the head coach.”

The second player who spoke to The Daily, who also asked to be anonymous in this story, said he also witnessed these actions occurring.

In addition to “running,” the whistleblower alleged that he witnessed the team participate in other hazing traditions in which freshmen were forced to strip naked and perform various acts, including bear crawling and slingshotting themselves across the floor with exercise bands.

In a once-a-year tradition dubbed “the carwash,” the first player said that some players would stand naked at the entrance to the showers and spin around, forcing those entering the showers to “basically (rub) up against a bare-naked man.” Upon entering the showers, the player alleged that players set up a hose they connected to the shower to spray people.

The player also alleged that he witnessed and was forced to participate in what he called a naked center-quarterback exchange, wherein a freshman quarterback was forced to take an under-center snap from a freshman center, while both players were naked.

The player said that on one instance, another player was “very vocally adamant” about not wanting to participate in this exchange. Older players threatened to “run him” if he refused and there was “no other option,” according to the player.

How does Fitz still have a job, especially after a 1-11 season?!?!

I agree, somebody needs to be held responsible. Whether that players doing the hazing, asst coaches who had knowledge of it, or Fitz.

Reading the OP, it seems like it was either a weak investigation, anybody doing (or knowledgeable about) the hazing is tight lipped, or the victims are lying.
