"The player said the tradition was especially common during training camp and around Thanksgiving and Christmas, which he said the team called “Runsgiving” and “Runsmas.”
How many times did the Wildcats practice around Christmas in the recent past?

I mis-read the article thinking it is a current player. If so he would have probably only practiced for the 20 season bowl game. Not that it really matters if true.
In addition to jumping to conclusions, I get in a lot of exercise running my mouth.
At the gym I work out with my buddy Lou. He stands at one end of the gym and the I skip to my Lou.
True.... but based on the descriptions and the number of individuals involved I would have to think that a good number of them would be straight. Looking at population percentages it's highly unlikely you have more than a few guys on the team that aren't straight.
JMO but this (or hazing in general) has nothing to do with being gay or straight.
As for exercise, it’s been conclusively shown that running one’s mouth in ASL burns 75% more calories than just flapping your gums.
They did, but it wasn't as common for players to transfer then..... In today's model, loyalty is ... less.
Yeah, and all of the profs put together don't make with the football coach does.Northwestern fired baseball coach Jim Foster on Thursday, the school announced.
Foster's dismissal came after allegations of bullying and a toxic environment within the program, sources said.
"Nothing will ever be more important to Northwestern than providing its students a place that allows them to develop in the classroom, in the community, and in competition at the absolute highest level, and building a culture which allows our staff to thrive," athletic director Derrick Gragg said in a statement
Foster came to Northwestern from Army, where he coached from 2017 to 2022 and won four Patriot League titles.

Northwestern Professors Urge University Officials to Halt $800M Stadium Amid Football Hazing Scandal
Link: https://news.wttw.com/2023/07/12/no...icials-halt-800m-stadium-amid-football-hazing
Dear President Schill, Dr. Gragg, and Mr. Barris,
We are a group of six tenured faculty members who are concerned about the culture of athletics at Northwestern. In 2021, we drew attention to abuses on the Northwestern cheer squad and to the misguided selection of Mike Polisky as Athletic Director after he was implicated in Northwestern’s failure to adequately respond to the cheerleaders’ allegations.
We are dismayed to find Northwestern Athletics embroiled in another major scandal that involves allegations of sexual abuse and harassment as well as negligence or indifference among administrators and coaches. We call on Northwestern leadership to take immediate, comprehensive steps to remedy the current situation and to protect all student athletes from future abuse.
What they don't get it isn't about "fit" anymore its what market share do they bring and sorry pitt fans you just don't bring anything.
It is what it is.
In the old days, this was loss of institutional control
In the old days, I believe, there was no such violation! Maybe I'm wrong, I'm 74 yr old...
That was usually paying players and other recruiting violations. Playing grab *** in the shower wasn’t really an NCAA thing.
If the conclusion of the investigation was that he was unaware of the hazing, then I agree he should not have even been suspended
Good point wasn't that after SMU received the "Death Penalty"?In the old days, I believe, there was no such violation! Maybe I'm wrong, I'm 74 yr old...
Foster came to Northwestern from Army, where he coached from 2017 to 2022 and won four Patriot League titles.

Any Second Mile Kids expected in the lawsuit? They do have experience in fabricating testimony.Fitzgerald defendant in lawsuit filed by ex-player
Former Northwestern football coach Pat Fitzgerald is among the defendants listed in a lawsuit filed by a former Wildcats player who said the program and its leaders were negligent in allowing hazing inside the locker room.
”Former Northwestern football coach Pat Fitzgerald, university president Michael Schill and athletic director Derrick Gragg are listed as defendants in a lawsuit filed Tuesday morning by a former Wildcats player who said the program and its leaders were negligent in allowing hazing inside the team's locker room.
The lawsuit also lists the university, its board of trustees and former president Morton Schapiro as defendants. The player filed anonymously, but the lawsuit says he was a member of the team from 2018 through 2022. His attorneys, Patrick Salvi and Parker Stinar, said they have spoken to other former Northwestern players and expect additional football players and Northwestern athletes from other sports to join the lawsuit in the coming days and weeks.”
