As the hazing scandal at Northwestern expands beyond the school’s football program, the school’s athletic director has come under fire for a book he wrote in 2015 which described women as “man’s greatest distraction.”
Derrick Gragg wrote the book, titled 40 Days of Direction: Life Lessons from the Talented Ten, while he was the AD at University of Tulsa. In it, he aimed to give advice to young men looking to fulfill their athletic dreams, he said to the Chicago Tribune‘s Angie Leventis Lourgos.
The cover of the book reads that its goal is to provide a blueprint for “all young men who aspire to become successful.” There are two chapters dedicated to relationships with women, including one titled “Women: Our Greatest Distraction.”
