Northwestern suspended coach Pat Fitzgerald for two weeks without pay Friday following an investigation into alleged hazing within the football program.
Fitzgerald started serving his suspension on Friday. He said in a statement he was"very disappointed" when he heard about the hazing allegations. Investigators said the hazing often happened in the team's locker room and the activities might have begun at its longtime training camp home in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Northwestern said Friday it will no longer hold camp in Kenosha and will have someone not affiliated with the program monitor the locker room.
