Can ---filmmaker explain how this is possible for a school with a directional name?
Perhaps he's right, it is time to change the Northern Illinois University name; let's get the ultimate corporate sponsorship: the University of Old Style (UOS), Miller Lite University (MLU), the University of Budweiser (UOB) -- we could probably replace an unused residence hall with the country's largest brewing plant / facility / classroom. Talk about a one of a kind major to excite the students; imagine being the only school in the nation to offer an MBA (Master's in Brewing Administration)! Research and development of hops, barley, etc. would be the way to get around the UofI's lock on attracting farmers to their agriculture program.
Oh the marketing possibilities; our school name in neon red! Schedule tastings in conjunction with tailgating, men's and women's home soccer matches, increased incentive to join the Convo's executive suite for men's and women's hoops, more fun at the baseball or softball ballpark; just add a pony keg to the bottom of Victor E's collar with the school's initials. VCB's sales of school mugs would go through the roof.
