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.
