Former Northwestern football player details alleged hazing after head coach fired: "Ruined many lives"
CBSN
A shocking report of hazing at Northwestern University has led to the firing of the school's longtime football coach, Pat Fitzgerald. He was let go Monday night after investigators found evidence to back up claims by some of his players.
Fitzgerald told ESPN he had "no knowledge whatsoever of any form of hazing within the Northwestern football program."
Fitzgerald, once a star linebacker for the Northwestern Wildcats, had led the team for 17 seasons. 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.
We just had another election with a clear and verifiable victor, overseen by hundreds of thousands of election officials. Those public servants have suffered years of harassment, and despite their successes, are still being accused of taking part in a massive and impossible conspiracy — a conspiracy led by the party out of power to steal an election and cover up all evidence.

Matt Gaetz is meeting with senators on Capitol Hill on Wednesday as he seeks to shore up support for his nomination for attorney general amid calls for the House Ethics Committee to release a report on allegations he engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use.
