Now do the middle of December drawing with ice and snow covering everything.Yeah. Looks pretty awesome:
Northwestern athletics issues
- Thread starter Acylum
- Start date
Perhaps that record is a product of the climate of the program.
Toxic can create more toxic.
Between this, Huggins, and SDSU, college athletics is going to be like a Judge Judy episode for the near future
Now that we’ve made big money contractual obligations part of the game, not sure how much I fault these guys for making sure they get all the money they’re legally owed.
The optics though…oof

Good god how difficult is it to not be a giant d!ck to your players and staff members? Coaching is difficult, I understand that, but not being an A-hole isn’t.
How does it go from suspension to termination? The answer seems kind of obvious to me.
After a 7 month investigation, the president tried to sweep this awful mess under the rug with a 2 week suspension. However, after all of the disgusting details started to be publicly reported, the president knew he had to "reevaluate the situation" and change the punishment to termination to save his own ass.
And now the lawyers from both sides will enter the room to fight over the millions of dollars.
There are no noble persons in this ugly mess.

I hope he was fired because he had big/multiple failures. Hoping someone is a terrible person is a little gross.
I understand the point you were trying to make though.
Yeah, I don't "hope he's gross" just hope that wins weren't more important than the truth.
Kind of tough to describe.

Weird that they're bringing back the entire staff minus the HC. Didn't you fire the guy for creating a toxic culture but you're bringing back the staff that at minimum enabled him.
This is some Gary Barta level incompetence and I think they're going to be writing a ginormous check to Fitzgerald before this is all done.
The NU president knows more than I do about this so I won't say it was the wrong decision but they've gone about it as poorly as possible. I guess the only thing worse would be them changing their minds again but even they are not that incompetent.

Fall camp opens in a few weeks. Don't you think it's a little late to be firing the entire staff and hiring an entirely new staff?
