The Northwestern football hazing scandal and firing of head coach Pat Fitzgerald have brought new calls to reassess the athletic culture at the Big Ten school, and at least temporarily halt the proposed $800 million rebuild of Ryan Field.
at the new stadium, opposition may be coalescing around the larger issue of whether Northwestern needs a new home for its football program, or just a thorough housecleaning.“If we invest $800 million in a new football stadium, that will distract university leaders’ attention from the most urgent problem that is in front of them, which is what seems to be a culture problem in Northwestern athletics,” Caitlin Fitz, a Northwestern history professor, said Tuesday.
In a matter of days, Schill went from announcing a two-week suspension for Fitzgerald related to alleged incidents of player hazing fleshed out in an independent investigation, to admitting he “may have erred” in meting out sanctions. On Monday, Schill informed the winningest football coach in Northwestern history he was “being relieved of his duties” effective immediately, according to an open letter posted on the university’s website.
“At this time, the city is not aware of any changes by Northwestern University related to the Ryan Field proposal,” Stowe said in an email. “The Ryan Field application is tentatively scheduled for Land Use Commission consideration on Aug. 9, 2023.”
