    Bigger Cinderella Story?

    By the classic definition of underdog triumphing against all odds, Coach Barnett's NU team was the bigger Cinderella story. However, if you overanalyze the actual Cinderella tale like you would do in a NU freshman year seminar class, the 2025 Indiana season is more akin to the the story...

    Who are realistic options to replace Braun after the season?

    With Northwestern's budget issues due to federal funds being withheld and the Fitz settlement, 1) Can NU afford to fire someone with years left on a contract? 2) Afford a coach that will cost them money?

    It’s official

    Is Nova a better job than Maryland? Superficially, I would think that B1G resources > Big East financial resources?

    Stuck between a rock and a hard place…

    I'm kind of glad it's two midwest teams playing and no SEC teams. The SEC. It just means more. šŸ˜‚

    WTEN - Match results overturned!

    Some random guy is quite upset about this perceived injustice to the Wisconsin team. He published the letter of protest he wrote to Gragg. In this situation, I wonder why they consider it stacking. Both the Wisc #1 and #2 have similar UTRs and WTNs. By the numbers, they seem otherwise...

    We have to support TrueNU (tell your friends as well)

    I feel like like major donors like their names to be attached to the things they donate money to. At my high school alma mater, even the individual window sills and benches have plaques with the donors' names on them. How will you be recognized for donating money to NIL? Naming rights for...

    Ben Bryant gives huge props to coach Braun

    How does recruiting work? I assume there's a recruiting staff who's doing most of the heavy lifting and a head coach who makes the final decision based on the staff's recommendations? If so, then Fitz' recruiting staff should still be there to continue do what they do if Braun keeps them right?
