A sad fate for Northwestern coach
As a Northwestern alumni and former football season ticket holder, it is difficult to put my arms around the news regarding hazing on the football team and the inaction of Coach Fitzgerald to put an end to it. It is such a shame that a man who was one of the prominent representatives of the university would allow this to happen.
This brings to mind Joe Paterno, the coach of Penn State who ignored the sexual abuse his coach committed.
Paterno subsequently went from godlike status to someone shunned by the community. It looks like Pat Fitzgerald will have the same fate. So disappointing for everyone involved.
