Ex-Northwestern football player Yates files suit against school CHICAGO -- Former Northwestern football player Lloyd Yates filed a lawsuit Monday against the university, outlining what he alleged was a "brainwashing culture" of hazing and abuse that became "normalized." Yates, a former quarterback and wide receiver who played at Northwestern from 2015 to 2017, became the first plaintiff to identify himself in a lawsuit against the school. www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/38064188/ex-northwestern-football-player-yates-files-suit-schoolThe football hazing being tied with the volleyball “hazing” allegations is ridiculous. Lawyers will try to tie the baseball, football and VB hazing all together that shows the athletic dept has lost institutional control resulting in bigger paydays for the lawyers. |

So just saying a player was “hazed” by having to run suicides really glosses over the severity:
“Three sources corroborated to Inside NU that a player was forced to run due to breaking team COVID-19 policy, as well as that the player physically suffered as a result. In particular, two shared that the player ran until she vomited, while one added that the player “bled all over the floor.””

The fact that they coaching staff knew about this is shocking and they thought it was okay and special in today's time where there is not a thing of secrets or people recording things, someone will be on the chopping block soon Keep in mind these are allegations, so you shouldn't jump to the conclusion that they knew/orchestrated this. Again, these are allegations that require a fair investigation. |

There's a LOT more to that article than just the Kelsay mention. Everyone should be sure to read it. Just want to say.. a lot of the “wait and see both sides” on here were blasting Kayla banwarth last year and calling for her firing with less evidence. Can we not just say, this is wrong, don’t be an ahole be a coach. |

Players piling on: Additionally, multiple former players described Davis as a coach who was withdrawn, with two sharing that the coach was particularly less willing to punish after this hazing incident and investigation.“Even though Davis wasn’t there, it wasn’t like the team was missing anything offensive coordinator-wise,” a player said about the coach’s absence during the spring of 2021.“He never made practice plans,” another shared. “He would be in the corner on his phone during practice. During games, if he did call timeout, he would look for our assistant coaches’ confirmation.”Not sure he survives this. |

I will do better than 34-94 in the B1G and not haze my players for less than what they pay Davis. It's always amazed me how much sh*t they've eaten for a sub-.500 coach.

Hard to prove the validity of that, and that in of itself would not be a firable offense. His lack of success, however, *should* have led to his dismissal – especially if there was a multi-match coaching suspension based on behavior during the 2020-21 COVID season – instead of a ridiculous contract extension based on (at the time it was extended) 5 seasons under .500. Many people ran to his defense amid calls for his ouster then and said "he needs time", but he showed no real progress until this year (Temi's senior year). He's signed a few extremely talented players, and did well in the portal in the offseason, but he doesn't strike me as a masterful recruiter. Indeed, we'll see if he survives this given the very mediocre track record despite wild success on the men's side. |

Has any of Volleytalk been to a college, hs, or club practice??? The ball-throwing drill mentioned is just the pit drill which is incredibly common for all levels. Calling that drill abuse is just being lazy. |
