Northwestern and former football coach Pat Fitzgerald have settled a lawsuit, which was filed by Fitzgerald after his dismissal from the school two years ago . Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Fitzgerald sued the school for $130 million for wrongful termination after being fired in July of 2023. His firing came amid allegations of hazing in the program, which president Michael Schill at the time called "widespread and clearly not a secret."

Fitzgerald said in a statement on Thursday: "For the past two years, I have engaged in a process of extensive fact and expert discovery, which showed what I have known and said all along-that I had no knowledge of hazing ever occurring in the Northwestern football program and that I never directed or encouraged hazing in any way."
