    State of the program

    Just curious, do we know Purdue’s approximate NIL expense? I know Purdue isn’t a perfect proxy for our program, but they retained their core the last several years, and had a lot of success.

    Happy Tap to Pardon day!

    I was there, slightly above the basket where Pardon scored. Taphorn threw the pass straight at us. Incredible.

    Last Night

    I’m far from a basketball savant, but one of the things that struck me last night was how crisp our passing was, for the most part. The energy just seemed higher, and (I hope) it looks like the team is growing right in front of our eyes. While, like everyone, I would have loved a few more...

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Penn State

    I couldn’t listen to the whole game. Do we know why Page only played three minutes? I’m not complaining, mind you. Nice win!

    Makes me wonder whether KJ has told them he’s planning to transfer after the season.

    Welcome to the new -- yet the same -- On3 WildcatReport!

    Too Much Officiating

    This seems to be the (somewhat) accepted standard, and I would ask why? I know, the home crowd….etc. But if they really cracked down on it, I personally think it’s preventable.

    Big Ten TV Schedule: Week Ten (1/6-1/12)

    For tomorrow’s game, does FOX mean the fox network, the fox app, Fs1 or….? Thanks for any help. I’m not home, so may have to get creative if it’s the app.

    Football Players in Kellogg?

    Not sure you’re whether referring to me or someone else, but my 2 years were as a professional musician and band director, not in business, And my first post is completely in agreement with yours. I wish I’d been able to get business experience first, and I agree that five years is the sweet...

    Football Players in Kellogg?

    About 40 years ago, when I applied for Kellogg, they actively sought diversity, and although I was an undergrad music major and professional musician (graduated from NU music school 2 years earlier), they accepted me, thank god. But, I completely agree with the need for business experience. It...
