A former Northwestern football player alleged in a lawsuit that Fitzgerald and other defendants were negligent in preventing hazing incidents. The player, identified as “John Doe,” was a member of the team from 2018 to 2022. He is seeking $50,000 in damages, according to the lawsuit, which lists university leadership, including Schill and former president Morton Schapiro, as defendants.

Also, Schill announced two new external reviews of the athletic program and said the findings would be made public.
