Fitz Suing NU Trial

Who cares?

Fitz is an Iowa fan now.

And there is little evidence he actually cared about his players for the past decade plus.

His antics will be revealed in court soon, and they would have gotten him fired at most white collar jobs in America - where he would made far less than the fortune he did from NU.

He got fired. He deserved it. Braun is the real deal.

They will likely settle while keeping the $$$ amount private.

As a person who survived what I thought was a temporarily toxic environment in the 2000s: I now wish I had skipped football and just been a normal NU student like most of our fans here.

Buzz off Jeff, Your one year as a walk-on football player who couldn't cut it as a player doesn't really add much to your credibility. Fitz' oldest son remains at NU, where, by all accounts, he's doing nicely.

Can you believe this? No AC in NU’s hotel in Indy

Usually like your posts but this is a pretty bad take. Stand up for your program.

You can stand up for your program without sounding like a conspiracy theorist. I laid out how it can be handled in a way to express how it’s unacceptable and still turn it into a positive about your team.

It’s fine. I love Collins. There’s no one I’d rather have leading this program. I just don’t like how he handled that.

Probably not. This guy has NU landmarks as a player and as a coach....Will always be on the Mount Rushmore of NU football. The only two-time winner of both the Chuck Bednarik and Bronco Nagurski Awards, Chicago Sports Hall of Fame, College Football Hall of Fame, led us to first bowl victory in decades. two appearances in B10 Championship game...Now Schill on the other hand.

I feel like I'm in the minority here, but I don't really love this. Yes, it's another thing this team had to deal with, and it's ridiculous that they have us in a hotel that has a situation like that, but saying something like "They're trying to get us." is not a good look. This may be an unpopular opinion, but it comes off as whiny. You can still say that we are dealing with a crappy situation at our hotel with heat issues without coming off as whiny or sounding like a conspiracy theorist. Saying "These guys were in a hotel with heat issues last night and barely got any sleep due to how hot it was. But it didn't matter - these guys just battle and fight through adversity" would be a way better approach in my opinion. You still are bringing light to the situation, but with a more positive spin.

It is what it is and it will pass, but I am in the camp of basically saying that the conference is out to get us is not a good look for him or the program.

Collins said they are banged up and don’t have enough healthy bodies to practice for three weeks. Long season let them get ready for next year.

Could still wait to see what the NIT would offer the 'Cats, if they can let other teams fill the Crown slots. We know the NIT is guaranteeing 1 home game for P5 teams, but with a NET ranking in the 50s, the 'Cats might be seeded for 2 home games. Would they really want to turn down 2 home games?

I have been going to NU football games since 1955, so I think I know something about NU football as well as you or Corbi. I also know that Fitz hired his buddy O’Neil which was disastrous and that the Coach that brought NU out of the desert was Barnett.

Fitz would not have been there or had the success he had had not Barnett done what he did, But he did lead NU to more continued and consistent success than Barnett did. The hiring of O'Neill was indeed terrible. Fitz did see the error in his ways and did replace that disasterous hire with Braun who we have seen was a solid move. In 23 the team was set up for success. Don't know what would have happened after but highly likely we would not have seen the mass exodous that crippled the program last year and looks like at bare minimum will be felt for at least a couple more years
