  1. It sucks that people get blamed for others'stupidity.

  2. Boys will be boys. Let men do men things, stop making a generation of softies. If you can’t hack it then go join the book or art club

  3. Uh that’s disgusting. What is wrong with this country at every level

  4. That whistle blower seemed pretty effite. Just saying. Did he actually play football or just hang in the locker room?

  5. No surprise to see the same behaviors with NFL players

  6. See women? This is how it's supposed to be done! You don't wait decades to file a report until the assaulter becomes rich and famous. You report the incident immediately.

  7. Fitzgerald coached the team like a fraternity. He is a racist, bully and an A hole.

  8. hello NBC, may you help in noting the afterschool hours report of northwestern hazing is strange. university will be returning next end of month. northwestern is the top ranked Midwest college in reputation. sad of this news being out there. elle for Syracuse wildcats

  9. MONSTERS 🥀 ABOMINATION 🥀

  10. Seems like football players are often misbehaving. I always look forward to the end of football season.

  11. BS . Coaches arent that dumb – They like getting paid Millions of Dollars .

  12. Why because the women be I ng used for thier mess have been mistreated

  13. This is exactly why northwestern football finished in last place last year in d1 fbs at 1 and 11. No football seriousness and much horseplay. Horseplay never pays off. Legit joke cracking sometimes is fun but sometimes people take it to far.

  14. It is always interesting how these highly-paid college head coaches suddenly act like a substitute teacher when scandal hits.

  15. Sounds he is very soft

  16. Mass shooting waiting to happen😳

  17. Sounds like some regular horseplay, the guy was probably mad that he sucked.

  18. Jalen Green did the same thing to Josh Christopher and he liked it. Unfortunately Josh got traded. Long distance relationships rarely work out. Jalen❤Josh

  19. I liked northwestern so much better 40 years ago. Sure, the football team stunk, but at least it was filled with student athletes who put studying abpve all else. I miss STUDENT athletes.

  20. The Final Nail in the Coffin ⚰️ :
    Last Season's 1 – 11 Record🏈 👎👎 .

  21. The coach would sit in a corner like a cuke just watching the hazing in the corner

  22. "The quarterback touched my butt!" – the Center

  23. When men make the allegations they are believed enough to be believed. Looked at comments where women make allegations despite extremely few allegations are false and most convicted offenders walk free
