that the ex-player whistleblower all along had a plan to get Fitzgerald fired and wanted the coach to “rot in jail.”, only because of the public backlash after The Daily Northwestern’s reporting. He said he spoke to the family of the player and was moved by what he heard. I’m not sure why learning the name of the athlete should change your reaction to those hazing allegations.
It’s also about more than the head coach. ESPN reported on Sunday that a whiteboard in the middle of the locker room included “SHREK’S LIST” with player names and specific hazing punishments. If that’s truly the case, the entire staff is responsible, not just the head coach. If this was really that open and obvious, how can you conclude the coaches didn’t know?
The former Northwestern player sent ESPN a screenshot of a whiteboard, which he says was in the middle of the locker room. Image is headlined"SHREK'S LIST" and includes a list of players' names and several bulleted items, including"naked slingshot" and"naked bear crawls."In 2013, Fitzgerald participated in a video for the Positive Coaching Alliance and spoke on the alternatives to hazing, admitting things are different now from when he played.
