Northwestern football may have dug itself into a deeper hole.
Northwestern president Michael H. Schill said the hazing included “forced participation, nudity and sexualized acts of a degrading nature, in clear violation of Northwestern policies and values.”Interim head coach David Braun was asked about the shirts on Wednesday after practice.
Northwestern football players warm up during the team’s practice in Evanston, Ill. on Wednesday, Aug. 9.“All my energy and intention is to go in to make sure this staff and these players have a head coach that has their best interests at the forefront of his mind,” Braun said,“I have not put any of that energy into considering the potential of censoring somebody’s free speech.”
Senior wide receiver Bryce Kirtz said the shirts are a memento for the squad sticking together amidst the controversy that has followed the football program this summer. Northwestern interim head coach David Braun, left, talks to linebacker Bryce Gallagher, right, and safety Rod Heard II., during team’s practice on Wednesday.“Coach Braun, he’s been preaching that we should stick together, especially during a time like this, so the shirts are really a reminder to really allow us to stick together. It’s just a reminder,” Kirtz said.
