Exactly. Two men doing a qb center exchange in the nude is perfectly normal. What the hell is wrong with everyone around here?

Did the coach see it or know about it? Strip the players involved scholarships....

Not if the University can show cause. Likely settlement. Both sides would like this to die quickly. Court proceeding makes all the adults and Norrhwestern look bad.

He’s gonna have to drop down a few leagues and work his way back, a la Norman Dale of “Hoosiers.” Or just go straight into the NFL.

It's hard to argue. Fitzgerald's firing occurred only three days after he was suspended. Somebody got one of the calls very wrong and it so happened to be the same somebody. The president.

He’ll win. Big payday.

Why are these hazing scandals somehow always marked by homoerotic behavior? I guess they can't all be ice skaters and ballet dancers.
