Former Northwestern football coach Pat Fitzgerald settled his $130 million wrongful termination lawsuit with the university. The settlement comes two years after Fitzgerald sued following his firing amid a team hazing scandal. While Fitzgerald maintained his innocence and lack of knowledge regarding the hazing, the university concluded he should have stopped it. Details of the settlement remain undisclosed. The school has since implemented anti-hazing measures and investigated the athletic department's culture.
