    The idea that we were wronged is getting some traction

    Johnson was not ruled academically ineligible but had signed with an agent and was ruled ineligible for that. USC was forced to "vacate" the win but NU was not elevated to a win.

    Have we "clinched" a bowl berth?

    With 5 wins already and 5 more to play, we all would like to see several more wins. With 5 wins that we now have and our academic graduation rate, have we now assured ourselves of a bowl invitation? It seems like every year there are 1 or 2 empty bowl bids that revert to a 5 win team and...

    WGN’s Dave Eanet Introduces New AD Mark Jackson at Pregame N-Zone Alumni Tailgate in Seattle

    Two things about the short speech that Mark Jackson made at the NAA event. He introduced himself as "Mark"--anyone could walk up to Jim Phillips and address him as "Jim", but somehow, Gragg had always insisted that everyone refer to him as "Dr. Gragg", including all that worked with him...

    The plans show 301 parking spaces in the new East lot, 176 in the North lot, and 875 spaces in the West lot (which does not appear to be reduced by the new construction). Does anybody know how many spaces were previously available?

    When I was growing up, we had atomic bomb drills. We learned that if you put your head down on your desk and closed all the curtains that we would be safe from a nuclear explosion.

    NCAA Proposes Rule to allow Schools to enter into NIL deals with Athletes

    Isn't getting outside compensation exactly what the NIL is all about? As I understand it, the issue was that NCAA banned student-athletes from getting paid for outside jobs, endorsements, or other sources, and NIL now allows them to get paid for almost anything. Even with direct payments from...

    All the right teams lost for our best bowl game, right?

    Keeping in mind that the Bowl selections are mainly geared to getting the team that will bring the most fans, Rutgers going to Pinstripe makes the most sense. NU was at PInstripe in 2016 and Music Bowl in 2017. Most likely Cats will go to either Vegas or Phoenix.
