    Thank you from Kiara and Lena! We really appreciate the warm reception on this board, the questions, the compliments, and the feedback. :)

    I worked for Northwestern Football for four seasons. Ask me anything.

    It’s a colloquialism. It’s typically referred to in the context of “getting your cheeks ran.” It’s lewd, but search “run them cheeks” on urban dictionary and see what pops up.

    I worked for Northwestern Football for four seasons. Ask me anything.

    From The Athletic: “What Northwestern’s coaches knew, and what lengths they did or didn’t go to in order to halt the misconduct, became a flashpoint during Walker’s time. Lamitte says coaches knew about the loofah line because players referenced it in the skits they performed for the team and...

    I worked for Northwestern Football for four seasons. Ask me anything.

    My co-host saw people leaving the locker room when it was going on. I’m doubt there was a formalized opt-out process lol, but some people just left because they have lower tolerance for that kind of behavior. Impossible to say. Great question! I’ll ask Lena and get back to you. Yes, and I...

    I worked for Northwestern Football for four seasons. Ask me anything.

    My (Kiara) opinion is as follows: Fitz almost certainly knew that about running was going on, but did not look at it as hazing. Would I bet my life? No. I can’t get into his head. But it was not a secret practice within the program. It was not something people whispered about. It wasn’t...

    I worked for Northwestern Football for four seasons. Ask me anything.

    Thank you! It was very scary because I (Kiara) love this program so much, I really do. So I was hesitant to be critical, but as long as I’m speaking the truth, then I have nothing to be fearful of. If Fitz or any coach called me today and invited me over for dinner, I’d be on a flight to...

    I worked for Northwestern Football for four seasons. Ask me anything.

    Thanks for the question. At the time, I (Kiara) thought of it as horseplay. Every time I heard someone talk about it whether it be players or staff, they were laughing. So as someone who never witnessed the practice, but heard of it extensively, I thought it was something playful. We...

    I worked for Northwestern Football for four seasons. Ask me anything.

    Yes, it was a family environment. It wasn’t lip service. We had Thanksgivings together. We lived together. It’s hard to not become super close under those circumstances. Fitz always had an open door policy for anyone who didn’t have a place to go for the holiday. Like other football teams, guys...

    I worked for Northwestern Football for four seasons. Ask me anything.

    I worked for the program for four seasons and I learned about running during my first year with the team. Some players opted out of the practice entirely. Some players looked forward to participating in it. But some players had an issue with it. We discussed this extensively during on the...

    I worked for Northwestern Football for four seasons. Ask me anything.

    We had a ton of insight into what happened in the locker room. We worked directly across from the locker room. Our male colleagues were in the locker room on a daily basis and we spoke to them every day. We typically knew which players were traveling on road games before they even knew. As...

    I worked for Northwestern Football for four seasons. Ask me anything.

    Kiara, here. I can unequivocally state that I never witnessed or experienced any racism from Northwestern athletes or any full-time staff members or coaches. I have no reason to suspect that Fitz would tolerate, condone, or perpetuate racism. It was deeply offensive when Mike Freeman wrote...

    I (Kiara) was there from 2016-2019. My co-host was there from 2019-2022. If you have 2020-2022 questions, I'll ping my co-host, and she'll chime in.

    The plot thickens: current player says whistleblower wanted Fitz fired, “in jail”

    No, it wasn't.

    Former Player Says No Racism

    Positive quote about NU and Fitz = true Negative quote about NU and Fitz = false Is this an intellectually honest standard to hold yourself to, CoralSprings?
