Exactly 89 days have passed since July 7, when former Northwestern football head coach Pat Fitzgerald was given a two-week suspension following an investigation by Maggie Hickey of ArentFox Schiff.
In that span of nearly three months, the school fired Fitzgerald due to accusations of hazing and racism; relieved former head baseball coach Jim Foster of his duties after reports surfaced of an abusive culture, and hired Ben Greenspan to lead the program; has seen lawsuits filed against it by athletes in almost every sport; and has attempted to turn the page to its 2023 fall seasons.
