A shocking report of hazing at Northwestern University has led to the firing of the school's longtime football coach, Pat Fitzgerald.
Last Friday, he was suspended for two weeks without pay. But after new allegations over the weekend, the university president took a step further and fired him for allegedly failing to know about and prevent ongoing incidents of hazing within the football program.
In one alleged ritual known as"running," he says a younger player would be restrained by a group of eight to 10 older players while they dry humped him in a dark locker room. The son of Mexican immigrants said he was not only the target of sexualized hazing incidents, but also rampant racism. In one instance he says he was forced to have"Cinco de Mayo" shaved into his hair as a freshman.
"Everybody saw it," Diaz said."So many eyes. I mean, there were so many players and nobody did anything and they just let this go on for years.""We were conditioned and put into a system that has broken and that has ruined many lives, including mine," he said."I was driven by what I saw and those images will never leave me for the rest of my life."
