When a program suspends a player or coach for what seems like a "strange" amount of time, it feels like they're just trying to cover something up and hopefully nobody notices. Northwestern suspended Pat Fitzgerald for hazing within his team for two weeks in the summer, where he won't miss any camps or practices. They basically gave him an unpaid vacation. Someone refresh my memory, wasn't Cam Newton suspended for an afternoon after Auburn looked into the amount of money his father received for Cam transferring to Auburn?
The Northwestern Football program has been struggling lately, they went 1-11 last season and the joke was, they didn't have a win in the United States as Northwestern beat Scott Frost and Nebraska overseas to start the season in August.
