An investigation revealed 11 players, past and present, said hazing was ongoing in the program, university president Michael Schill said.
Northwestern University fired longtime head football coach Pat Fitzgerald, the school announced Monday. The move comes after allegations of hazing within the Wildcats football program.
CNN has reached out to Fitzgerald’s representative for comment. Fitzgerald, who was initially suspended Friday for two weeks without pay, has said previously he was not aware of the alleged hazing. “I have received hundreds and hundreds of emails describing how he has transformed the lives of current and former student-athletes,” Schill’s letter says. “However, as much as Coach Fitzgerald has meant to our institution and our student-athletes, we have an obligation – in fact a responsibility – to live by our values, even when it means making difficult and painful decisions such as this one. We must move forward.
But, he added, the investigator didn’t find “any credible evidence that Coach Fitzgerald himself knew about it.”
