There’s something else going on at Northwestern, something aside from lawsuits and ongoing investigations in all their salacious detail. Something beyond speculation about what happens with fired coach Pat Fitzgerald from here, demands to know which administrators and assistant coaches knew what and offense taken at the very idea of an $800 million stadium rebuilding project going forward now, of all times for such a festal undertaking. Something that has nothing whatsoever to do with justice or retribution or righteous condemnation, or other sports programs and student-athletes.
That something is the onrush of a football season.
