The current player claimed coach Pat Fitzgerald, who was suspended without pay for two weeks, might have been aware of the hazing.
“It’s a shocking experience as a freshman to see your fellow freshman teammates get ran, but then you see everybody bystanding in the locker room,” the player told The Daily Northwestern. One of the players who spoke to The Daily Northwestern said Fitzgerald made the same signal during practice when players, especially freshmen, made a mistake — which some interpreted as encouraging hazing.“Everyone would just be looking at each other and be like, ‘Bro, Fitz knows about this,’ because you wouldn’t take that action otherwise,” the player said. “Everyone joins in because he’s the head coach.
The team will also have to stop holding practices at Camp Kenosha, Wisc., where it has held training camp in the past.On Friday, Fitzgerald addressed the investigation into the program and his suspension. A series of other hazing practices were also alleged, including freshmen being forced to strip naked and perform acts such as bear crawling.
