Chicago collegiate sports are under a national microscope this month, as Northwestern University Athletics made news for two completely separate, but equally appalling, situations: both football coach Pat Fitzgerald and baseball coach Jim Foster were fired last week for -- among other allegations -- creating or condoning racist, sexist and otherwise harmful behavior, both in the locker room and on the field.

Joining host Jim Hanke today is 670 The Score's Danny Parkins, who originally broke the story last week on Foster's alleged toxic behavior; plus, hear from NU journalist Sophia Vlahakis about the student newspaper's role in exposing a culture of hazing, reportedly ignored by Fitzgerald.
