focused on one former player, Schill said that at least 11 current and former players “acknowledged that hazing has been ongoing” within the program.
“The hazing included forced participation, nudity and sexualized acts of a degrading nature,” he said. “I am grateful that – to my knowledge – no student suffered physical injury as a result of these behaviors.”While Fitzgerald was not found to have been aware of the hazing situation, Schill confirmed that the existence of the practice was “well-known.”
