Postby Mountainman » Thu Jul 20, 2023 2:13 pm

……… up in Chicago, as the third lawsuit against Northwestern for alleged “hazing” is scheduled to hit the courts today……..and btw, Jim Phillips, formerly at Northwestern and the current Commissioner of the ACC is reportedly named in the suits.

Haven’t seen any former players who allegedly committed the ‘hazing’ on the list as of yet.

Probably won't see playerrs......go for the deeper pockets...and maybe players not covered under school's inurance liability policy covering employee misdeeds.

Maybe I'm naive about all that hazing entails in these "modern" times. But if you are not physically harmed, and by harmed I mean broken bones or other serious injury, then what's the problem.

When I was in the Navy while crossing the equator, you got the crap beat out of you with a fire hose that had been hardened from being soaked in salt water....it hurt, and you laughed aobut it afterwards.

Are these folks geting their feelings hurt, or is it actual injury?? The article doesn't seem very clear to me.
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

Wait !

Can I get a lawyer and sue for the "hazing" at Parris Island in 1965 ? Or the way my unit pinned my gold jump wings on our chests in 1966..by slamming it in with the prongs uncovered.

Well, guess we’ll just sit back, watch and enjoy the show…… ‘Attorney Crump says he plans on filing 30 more lawsuits’.
