Somehow A Northwestern-Rutgers Game Is Even More Of A Catastrophe

The college football calendar is harsh and unyielding so when Northwestern football spends the past two months mired in an escalating series of shocking, grotesque, and embarrassing scandals that resulted in the most entrenched 1-11 college football coach in the country getting fired, the program has no choice but to limp into Piscataway on Sunday and somehow attempt to play football in order to collect its Big Ten television check. I have no idea what that is going to look like. I don't know how the announcers are going to try to talk around the scandal or somehow elide the putrid details of the hazing incidents or, if they bring it up, then explain why Northwestern is taking the field.
