Northwestern’s Scandal Hasn’t Touched Chris Collins

Former Duke guard and assistant coach Chris Collins has had some ups and downs at Northwestern, with a fast start, culminating with the school’s first-ever NCAA bid coming in 2016-17.

Things got choppy for a couple of years and then Covid hit. It took a while, but Collins got back on track and last spring got back to the NCAAs.

That’s the good news for Northwestern athletics. And the bad?

It’s pretty bad.

In recent days, hazing allegations have driven off the football coach and affected other sports. Athletics Director Mike Poliskey resigned. And now, lawsuits have been filed.
