Approximately 1,000 former Northwestern University athletes sent a letter condemning hazing while defending the school’s culture.

Northwestern quarterback Ryan Hilinski throws in front of offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian at practice on Aug. 9, 2023, at Hutcheson Field in Evanston.

Approximately 1,000 former Northwestern University athletes sent a letter condemning hazing while defending the school’s culture, saying allegations of abuse within the football program and other men’s and women’s teams do not reflect their experiences. “We strongly condemn hazing in any form and firmly believe it has no place in collegiate sports or, for that matter, in university life, period,” the letter obtained by The Associated Press on Thursday reads. “The allegations being made are troubling and we support the University’s efforts to fully investigate these claims. However, these allegations do not represent or define the overall athletics culture at Northwestern.
