Here are a few things I've learned about the Aidan Atkinson situation. I can't verify any of this, but it comes from a very trusted source:
- NU found out about this on Thursday night, when the newspaper contacted them for comment. They were as blindsided as everyone else.
- The police investigation has been going on for only the last couple months; it started more than a year after the incident occurred. The rumor is that it began because of an anonymous tip to the police.
- The family did not inform NU of the investigation. Neither did any of Fairview's coaches or administrators.
That's all I know at this point.
