Jaybees Low Tech Podcast Pat Fitzgerald Out at Northwestern Univ. W/Jay-Bee

This is quickest of Quick hits
Pat Fitzgerald was fired today from his position as the Head Coach of the Northwestern Univ. The Academic power & Liberal Arts Power of the B1G. Testimony has come to life in the past serval days of two issues.
1. A culture of hazing/ Humiliations
2. Racial insensitivity
Players were hazing other players for messing up in practice. Humping each other, vile language, keeping a tote board in the locker room.
Minority player were made to feel that couldn't be themselves. Couldn't wear their hair the way they wanted or wear cultural items or express themselves in the ways of the culture they were raised in. The were made to feel like outsiders if they didn't conform.
As I stated in the podcast two things should be made very clear.
1. we don't know the coaches. All we know is what they and school want us to see. A lot people think just because they are a head coach that they are very smart or very cool. We don't know that, I worked with a ton of them and I don't know that. I only knew what they wanted me to know.
2.Coaches and staff's greatest fear is nor NIL or Transfer Portal. It's what is my group of 17-24 yr old people are doing when I (the Coach) do not have control of the time and life. We would joke about, the fact of the fastest way to get fire was for the athlete to do something illegal or immoral. Embarrass the school, break the law or haze others.
There is evidence that the coaches and staff of NWU should have known and acted on what they knew. You as the adult cannot turn a blind eye or cover up the issue. We are mandatory reporters. We sign something every year, that states if we see something say something, but fear also would control us. You don't want to be tagged as the problem or a snitch.
Much more to come on this in the coming days.
