Inevitable conclusion: Matt Fortuna on Twitter: "Sources: Northwestern has parted ways with Pat Fitzgerald." / Twitter

Edited to add Northwestern prez statement on firing: https://www.northwestern.edu/leadership-...=224300368

Notable to me, prez says firing decision based on 1.) hazing which "included forced participation, nudity and sexualized acts of a degrading nature," and 2.) firing decision based on HC being "ultimately responsible for the culture of his team," with hazing "widespread and clearly not a secret within the program, providing Coach Fitzgerald with the opportunity to learn what was happening."
