In a news conference Wednesday, prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump said he is representing more than 15 former male and female Northwestern athletes regarding allegations of hazing that"goes into other sports programs" beyond football. Crump said his law firm has spoken with more than 50 former Northwestern athletes.
Former Northwestern football player Lloyd Yates speaks on July 19, 2023, alongside other former players, from left, Warren Miles Long, Tom Carnifax and Simba Short, about the abuse and hazing they say occurred in the program.
Yates described the abuse as"graphic, sexually intense behavior" that"was well known throughout the program." Tommy Carnifax, who played tight end for Northwestern from 2016 to 2019, told reporters that he sustained multiple injuries during his Northwestern career, but that"coaches made me believe it was my fault I was hurt."
