Northwestern Hazing Scandal Coverage
Breaking News
This article was the initial to report Anderson not being Northwestern's long-term head coach, which came true when Ben Greenspan was hired.
Was the first to notice/report multiple Northwestern coaches wearing pro-Pat Fitzgerald shirts at an open practice. This tweet eventually sparked a condemnation of the shirts by AD Derrick Gragg.
This story was the only to corroborate a lawsuit filed by a Northwestern volleyball player, verifying and elaborating on the claims.
By speaking to a very recent Northwestern football player, I was among the first to confirm allegations of "car washes" and naked bear crawls. This article was the first to mention "gay rap battles" and provided unique perspective about the depth and history of hazing in the program.
This report was one of the inaugural to indicate that Northwestern's disturbing pattern of hazing had occurred beyond the last few years, and even in Pat Fitzgerald's early years as the team's head coach.
Detailed Reporting
Conducted the first interview with Northwestern athletic director Derrick Gragg since Sept. 3, which was the fourth since the firing of Pat Fitzgerald and first with student media. Gragg reflected on the decisions he made from July 7-onward, including hiring David Braun and Ben Greenspan. He also discussed Northwestern's new ticket system, renovating its softball facility and NU's Under Armour partnership in depth.
