Ramon Diaz says he was just 17 years old when Northwestern University upperclassmen shaved"Cinco de Mayo" onto the back of his head as the entire football team watched.
The lawsuits allege hazing across multiple sports that included sexual abuse by teammates and racist comments by coaches. Diaz, like other former players who have come forward, also described instances of forced nudity and sexual abuse. With Diaz's allegations, the cases now span more than 15 years, from 2005 to 2022.
And in a new statement on Wednesday, Northwestern said it is investigating allegations lodged at Matt MacPherson, who remains listed on the roster as associate head football coach. At least four former players, including Diaz, accuse MacPherson of having witnessed players forced to perform pull-ups while naked as the team watched, as well as other hazing, and taking no action to stop it.
Diaz, who needed his football scholarship to afford college, recalled Bret Ingalls, the Wildcats' offensive line coach at the time, telling him:"I know you grew up on dirt floors, but here we try to keep things clean," and"Ramon, you can get a job easily in summer mowing the lawn or painting houses."
