Northwestern is implementing several measures to curb hazing within its football program, including a two-week suspension of coach Pat Fitzgerald after an investigation found evidence to support a claim of problematic conduct.
Fitzgerald, the Wildcats' coach since 2006, will begin the unpaid suspension Friday. Northwestern is not set to start preseason practices until early August.
Other measures include no more off-campus practices in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where the team held preseason training for years, and the monitoring of the football locker room by someone who doesn't report to Fitzgerald or his staff.
Fitzgerald said in a statement that he was "very disappointed" to learn of the hazing allegations.
