    Had the same debate at Illinois over replacing assembly hall versus updating. There is no perfect answer; just need to make the best of whatever decision is made.

    NU vs DePaul Arenas: Is NU WASTING money?

    Don't know about the naming rights parity. Having exposure in the McCormick Place area is a lot more valuable than east Central Street, Evanston. It's all about the eyeballs.

    Brad Underwood Compensation ... 6 yrs $19.2 million

    Well, you won't get any argumentfrom me, or most Illinois fans, about the failings of our past 2 AD's in hiring for the 2 revenue sports. It's pretty self-evident.

    OT: Brad Underwood (Okie State) to the Illini

    That's cool. In my most unvarnished moments, that's the way I think about NU. Nevertheless, I was rooting for the Cats to beat the Zags. Tough loss. But it was a good season, and with Collins as your coach and an upgrade to your arena, I envision NU as competitive program year in and year out. ☹️

    It is an awesome hire, speaking for this member of the Illini Nation. This guy is a great coach.

    Congrats Cats on your win over Vandy. I think you have a punchers shot against the Zags. Oh, and I'm a 15 minute bike ride from the Segal Center, so I appreciate all my kittie friends.

    Groce fired
