Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald has had enough of in-camp fighting between his team members, and the Chicago Tribune’s Teddy Greenstein reported on Fitzgerald’s unique way of dealing with it. Via Twitter:

Funniest moment from #Northwestern practice: Two players scuffle, take some swings at each other’s helmets …

You guys are idiots!” Fitz (head coach Pat Fitzgerald) yells. Then the two had to step off the field and walk a lap, holding hands.

I certainly wouldn’t mind walking a lap holding Fitzgerald’s hand!

I wonder if the holding-hands response is a deterrent or a cure. That is, is it designed to deter the guys from fighting because they don’t want to be caught holding a dude’s hand…or is it a cure because they bond holding hands for that lap?
