So after Northwestern fires Fitzgerald, when will the realization that those players who committed the crimes should be arrested for sexual abuse at a minimum?

And what is Northwestern's policy for adjudicating sexual misconduct? In all seriousness - this is an atypical fact pattern. Curious to see how it plays out.

Eh, only key if nothing wrong actually happened.

Additionally, this same player also said, if I read it correctly, Shrek list wasn't a thing.

If we have credible evidence suggesting otherwise, I would suggest what he's saying isnt really worth a damn

One thing that hasn't been brought up is I don't have to tell you guys where our conference commish came from. It will be interesting to see if his name comes up as it being something he should have been more aware of.

Northwestern thought they'd sneak this story by on a Friday...these higher Ed joints are so lost on how the world works.

its 2023, are we really telling people what length their hair should be? my god, if you are coaching a team with 100 kids from all different races and backgrounds, I don’t think hair length would be on my list of rules to enforce. Just seems so goofy at this point

The whole athletic department is sweating their behinds off right now.

Appearances matter whether we like it or not.

Just might want to put that huge new Ryan Field request, with a proposed full capacity of 28,500, on hold.

I get it in the professional world but a group of college athletes not so much, don’t think that matters much at all. Cutting your hair short when your 19 years old when you would rather have it longer doesn’t teach a damn thing. Just dated meathead nonsense

They just fired him

Yep. There it is.

The Big got another tomato can besides Rutgers to kick around.
Need to have those built in wins when you bring in new teams.
