So there was “serious sexual hazing” and the only one who was held to account was Fitz? No one seems to care that some of the “perpetrators ”might still be on the team. Just unreal.

I 100% agree that the perpetrators on the team should have been held responsible in an appropriate manner.

Any Chance The Euro Games Will Be Broadcast/Streamed/Etc?

These teams that play college touring teams are usually not the rosters that compete for them in their leagues. They are usually composed of the players that are around. Some are on summer vacation laying on the beach somewhere, some are foreign players that have not joined the roster. Most of these teams depend heavily on American players to get height and any kind of athleticism.

I am not saying that's what happened here, but there's nothing to conclude from beating any of these teams.

Our schedule is brutal

No.

Yes, Michigan and OSU are tough draws, but this schedule is not nearly as bad as some have argued.

Washington lost a lot talent this season, including a first round QB. They also lost their head coach. They should be tough, but it's not a guaranteed loss.

Wisconsin, Iowa, Maryland, Indiana, Purdue all have significant warts (listen to the WLP podcast if you havent). Illinois lost quite a bit of talent, but I think they will be tough against us.

Duke lost a lot of talent to the draft. They have had our number, but I think this year can be different.

Schill publicly made the whole team out to be dirtbags, which to me is unforgivable, especially given the overall quality of the young men who Fitzgerald recruited to NU.

The t-shirts were justified.

"Fu@k Schill" t-shirts were also justified, but the players were too classy to do that.

IIRC, it was more Ggarg than Schill who threw the team under the bus (I could easily be mistaken about Schill's public comments at the time). The Zoom call done by GGarg where he reportedly read a canned statement and then cut off the team without taking a single question (from his hotel in Italy) was the moment that I realized Ggarg was going to be terrible.

If you feel “serious sexual hazing” did in fact happen and “perpetrators” are still associated with the team, how can you cheer the young men on?

That's right, CD - every investigation seems aimed only at oversight of an apparent crime. All this time has passed and there still seems to be no interest in determining exactly who did what to whom. We don't got to show you no stinking justice.

In the meantime, the shirt looks like free speech.

Wearing a shirt supporting Pat Fitzgerald immediately after he had been fired by the university for cause for something as serious a sexualized hazing was tone deaf, especially by a member of the coaching staff.

The difference now is a combination of who is wearing the shirt and the timing. For a student to support his family is very different, as is the timing. I still think it’s tone deaf, but I also support his right to express himself.
