A former Northwestern Wildcats football player claimed Pat Fitzgerald knew about the alleged hazing going on in the program and said he 'should not be the head coach.'
football coach Pat Fitzgerald"absolutely knew" about the hazing that was going on in the program, a former player said Sunday as specific details of the alleged incidents surfaced earlier in the week.
The former player told the outlet that Schill was"extremely receptive" to his story and offered resources to help with the trauma from the experiences. "I want to shed light on this heinous, illegal behavior. I wanted illegal behavior out of the program. This is an absolutely barbaric and egregious culture that ultimately lies on the shoulders of the head coach," the former player said, adding that the older players had a group called the"Shrek gang" and a younger player would be restrained in a dark room and would be forced in"sexualized behavior.
Northwestern Wildcats head coach Pat Fitzgerald and the team wait to take the field before the field against the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Memorial Stadium on Oct. 5, 2019 in Lincoln, Nebraska. The letter added that Northwestern conducted an"independent third-party" investigation into the matter that took"a rigorous six months" to complete. The investigation included interviews with current and former players as well as coaching staff.
Schill wrote an open letter to the university community and acknowledged focusing"too much on what the report concluded didn’t know and not enough on what he should have known." He said he planned on speaking with university leadership, the board of trustees and leaders of the faculty senate to determine the next steps.
