Settlement? This all seems like for-cause.As it gets worse the lower Fitz’s settlement will be. At this point Northwestern is just trying to figure out how little they can give him to leave quietly.

maybeDo they have anyone we want to transfer here?
I don't think we lost any commits to them in '24's class so far. There were 3 commits (DL Gant, DB Walters, '22 OL McGuire) in the past few classes that we had in for OV's and wanted. But yeah, depending on what all comes to light about the players' involvement in all of this, we might just steer clear all together.maybe
no one from their commit list of 2024 high school grads sticks out , but they undoubtedly have a couple players on their two deep that might make sense
but I’m totally fine keeping away from their entire roster , ease of transfer portal not withstanding
Could be a variety of reasons, but I'm wondering if the previous positive affirmations were more about networking and self-preservation? For example, let's say this player went public with this year's ago, he is basically putting himself out there and there would be no guarantee of how things would end up. He could've been treated as a hero and allegations taken seriously, or treated as a liar and malcontent. If the latter, he would essentially be blacklisted from NU athletics and blocked from all of the important networking connections that a former player would have access to. Especially if he was just making solo allegations and didn't have broader support or corroboration, he may have felt that bringing things to light would lead him to be worse off in the long run. However, now that the story has broke and things are starting to be revealed, he may feel that it's a lot safer to come out and relate his own experience because he already knows how the broader narrative is being received.Your insertion of the Tweet didn't show up.

they are simply negotiating a buyout number that will satisfy Fitz and prevent lawsuitsFitz will step down by end of week before he gets fired. Book it.
Not sure about that. I think it is more likely that they are going through legal review to determine if the fire for cause will stick. Details seem to be getting worse by the hour, so a buyout will not look good for Northwestern. There is still the option for legal action on Fitz's part, but I think Northwestern will want to kick that can down the road for when the smoke settles.they are simply negotiating a buyout number that will satisfy Fitz and prevent lawsuits
I was thinking of replacement coaches today and kept thinking that Paul Chryst might be the right guy at the right time for NU. Similar (albeit less talented) player as he had at Wisconsin. He is a decent coach and from what I recall, a decent human being.
He knows the Big10 and could jump in this year. There would be zero pressure. If he doesn't perform at 1-3 years, he could just retire.
Can’t see how their AD survives thisNow Parkins and Spiegel (WSCR) reporting on lack of institutional control in the athletic department extending into the baseball program.
Coach a "toxic" raging, belittling, profane tyrant. So many transfers that NU might not be able to field a team as it stands now.Now Parkins and Spiegel (WSCR) reporting on lack of institutional control in the athletic department extending into the baseball program.
He hired the baseball coach. Poor hire. Hiding all weekend. He will be sacked. Mike Thomas was sacked for as much.Can’t see how their AD survives this
