CHICAGO — Another lawsuit was filed Wednesday against Northwestern University by a former football player, alleging that ex-coach Pat Fitzgerald took part in hazing and bullying athletes.
The plaintiff, identified only as John Doe 2, was a student from 2018 to 2022.
Meanwhile, four other former football players gathered Wednesday behind attorneys Ben Crump and Steve Levin at a morning news conference and detailed their experience with the alleged hazing. The attorneys described another forthcoming lawsuit that includes 15 players on the university’s football, baseball and softball teams, Crump said. More are expected to join, he added.
