This doesn't seem to make sense. And in other news, Fitzgerald's public release basically said he met and agreed to the suspension but was blindsided by the President's unilateral decision to terminate and he's got legal counsel responding.
Why is the 6 month investigation upon which Prez made initial suspension decision different?Most accounts say this stuff wasn’t really hidden. He knew.
How often did it happen and when did he find out? Did he take measures to stop it? He was fired for perception reasons once the details of what went on were released.Most accounts say this stuff wasn’t really hidden. He knew.

I agree with the person in charge being held accountable. However, other coaches on staff should also be held accountable - particularly if what they were doing to contribute to the hazing wasn't following a direct order from above.Mixed feelings. Yeah, you are the CEO for lack of a bettter way to say it, and the buck stops with you. OTOH, would anybody really know what all 110 guys are doing? GB got caught up the same way. PFitz will bank more cash off the settlement than I will ever earn, so it is kind of hard to feel bad for him. He will be back on the sideline shortly anyway.
NW FB is probably dead now.

consensus from my partners is that Dan Webb is the best attorney in Illinois. This should be interesting. Also have a friend in NW's GC's office and I've been oh-so-tempted to call him but can imagine its not the best time right now. 99.9% this results in a confidential settlement. NW is up s----'s creek without a paddle at this point.and he's got legal counsel responding

The University of California could have built a larger endowment, but ultimately decided that $11.01 billion was a better fit for them.Meh. Big 10 money buys a sh*tload of paddles. Isn't MSU paying Midnight Mel upwards of 30 million?

Apparently there were notations about this stuff on the team whiteboardLet's be honest here... He was fired because of public perception and an institution with an elite academic reputation didn't want to go to the mat for their coach. Was there actually any evidence that Fitzgerald knew what was going on and failed to do anything about it? I suspect this is why he's going to sue and probably win.

Who? Is that the campus in Saginaw?MM's contract is closer to $90mm and certainly not being paid by the University of Michigan endowment.

Ehh I think its the way this all played out-and not the outcome itself. Fitzgerald gets a two week unpaid vacay in the middle of July originally for this, and then Schill reverses course and fires him for cause two days later. If you've been under a rock for the last two weeks, it would look to you like Schill caved to public pressure.The essence of command: its your fault even when youre not present because you picked these people who were watching in your absence.
After Barnett left for Colorado following the 1998 season, replaced by then-Miami (Ohio) head coach Randy Walker, it became apparent that the culture inside Northwestern’s program was not a coincidental series of quirks.
No wonder NW sucked - the players also hazed the coaches as well player / coach group sessions of grievance-airing, including calling out people for infidelity and questioning sexual orientation.
