Northwestern University football hazing scandal has cost the program some new recruits.
This comes as Northwestern named Fitzgerald's defensive coordinator David Braun, who was just hired six months ago, to lead the team as the acting head coach.
"The biggest part will be recruiting I think," sports attorney Eldon Ham said. "How are they going to fix this? How are they going to make people comfortable? The coach that recruited these kids isn't there anymore that's always a problem.""Maybe they don't know enough to sort out which ones maybe culpable and which ones weren't so for the moment they'll keep it status quo," Ham said. "I can't imagine it stays this way.
While Fitzgerald maintains that he knew nothing of the alleged hazing, six tenured Northwestern professors sent a letter to university officials demanding they halt the planned 8-hundred million dollar rebuild of Ryan Field. "We cannot abide by a program, any program at Northwestern that treats students this way, that allows this kind of horrible abuse and that does not seek full transparency and accountability," Northwestern professor Elizabeth Shakman Hurd.
