Funny none of this didn’t come out when they were winning the West division..
Eight former Northwestern football players have hired an attorney to sue the school
- Thread starter phoenix4nu
- Start date
See, it either IS a big deal or it is NOT a big deal.
So by keeping the entire staff except for Pat, they are saying that it is not that big of a deal BUT we had to do something.
The argument of "well, practice starts in 15 days" means that FB is more important.
football is, of course, not what's more important
getting their names out of the headlines is what's more important
of course there were people coming forward then.
they were just tamped down, threatened and silenced.
it's the B1G way.

There is a HS coach with tons of wins and titles just down the road from them who would be an amazing hire

So very true...
They are probably hoping for a campus shooter to pop up tomorrow, take some heat off.
I watched his 3 minute clip on PTI. His reaction didn't surprise me.
Wilson thinks Nebraska should be kicked out of the conference because of this disgrace.
It was too inconvenient for @Big bo fan . Let’s make sure we have proven D-1 coaches at Northwestern first guys, so they can win maybe one more game this year. Who cares if they subjected kids to sex stuff or whatever???
Absolutely wild these people are allowed in public.
Any lawyers or anyone know how he gets paid? Does he just attach his name to it and have interns do the legal work until he shows up if there is a trial and then just collects the settlement?
That's pretty much what civil rights attorneys do. Find a sh*t show and start suing.
take it for what it's worth. But I heard on the radio about that the Atlantic director refused meetings that players and coaches requested to discuss the issues within the program. If true. Another Big institution sweeping it under the rug.
They promoted a guy to head coach that wasn't on the staff last season, and presumably at no time this stuff was going down. They have, I believe 3 other new staff members. Perhaps it was these individuals who helped out the crap that was going on. I would also imagine there is going to be a bunch of eyes on the day to day operations to ensure none of the ****ery continues. While it is not ideal, I would imagine the hazing will stop for the next few months, then in December they can fire everyone and start over. If a player doesn't feel safe, they can leave, so there is a remedy in place.
I am pretty sure they will be looking for a new AD pretty soon as well.

Just another example of the pussification of America. Back in the 80s we could gangbang our teammates ad nauseum and just laugh it up with the coaches. Gangbanging college football players is a challenge compared to helpless coeds.
Playing football at that school would be hard enough to really enjoy hefore this...it's going to be even more miserable going forward and will be full of dudes who want the degree and then to floor it on their way out of town.
I've got a feeling that you were the willing recipient of more than a few gangbangs.
The AD was hired in 21 , barely 2 years . I would say the College President would be on the block he ran the investigation and decided on a 2 week suspension. And I agree on the staff it’s not ideal but you can’t bring in a new staff in 15 days but i as blasted for that.
We used to say at NU in the early 90s, "its not a gangbang without the two Peters".
You playing hard to get probably turned your manager on even more. Nice power move!
Obviously not good news for Northwestern. In addition to whatever this winds up costing them financially, dragging it through the legal system extends the bad publicity. And of course Northwestern used its academic reputation to recruit kids in the past but now it has to fight this bad publicity with new recruits.
Damn.
Iowa Hawkeye football in the 80s was apparently even weirder than it is today.
Just saw that the lawsuit is up to 12 players and is expected to grow a lot larger than that. Time to throw them out of the conference, right Mr Wilbon? This is going to cost them lots and lots of millions. So much for that $800 million stadium. Maybe rent a high school field in Evanston instead.
I wonder if he owes the IRS any back taxes.
Oh boy.......

At least 15 former Northwestern athletes to file suit in hazing scandal, attorney says
At least 15 former Northwestern University athletes plan to file a lawsuit over a hazing scandal, prominent civil rights lawyer Ben Crump says.
It’s a mess , the Former AD is now listed as a defendant in some of the New lawsuits. I am I’ll be interesting if Fitz gets named personally in any. And just think those two clowns Wilbon and Desmond Howard wanted us thrown out just because we wanted to play in the Covid year.
Crimes against humanity, just business as usual. Nothing to see here.
I felt they should have hired a HC "older high character guy that's "Retired" for the season that can baby sit the current staff. Knowing full well that it's just a 1 year paycheck.
They gave the job the a New guy who wasn’t around for any of this. You can’t completely clean house 3 weeks before practice starts.and there is no proof All or sny current staff members knew.
My post didn't say clean house. It was to bring in a guy that can right the ship for 1 year. A high character guy. And move on when the new HC comes in and brings in his staff
