Northwestern has fired coach Pat Fitzgerald amid allegations of hazing within the football program, university president Michael Schill announced Monday in an open letter to the school community.

"The head coach is ultimately responsible for the culture of his team," Schill wrote. "The hazing we investigated was widespread and clearly not a secret within the program, providing Coach Fitzgerald with the opportunity to learn what was happening. Either way, the culture in Northwestern Football, while incredible in some ways, was broken in others."
