Did he recieve an email? It was sent to the students email account from Morris White Assistant AD/Marketing & Game Experience. If you are to contact someone, try him. I've been thinking of emailing him, because I do have some questions about how the process will work with these awards. I'm guessing to be included in the 86, you had to have your student ID scanned upon entering the stadium for all 6 games. At first I thought the 86 were counted from the red and black app. However, myself apparently one of the 86 did not check-in at all 6 games. I did attended all 6 games and the Mac championship, even though I know the Mac championship was not part of this. There were two games I forgot to check-in with the app, and by the time I remembered late in the second quarter the event was no longer available to check-in. This tells me that the athletic department numbers are pretty accurate towards student attendance, because the only way they would know I went to all 6 games was the fact I used my student ID to enter the game.
The email reads as follows,
"Good Morning!
You are receiving this email because of your support and dedication during the 2015 home football season. On behalf of NIU Athletics, thank you for attending all six games! Although the goal to average 6,000 students per game was not met, we appreciate the school spirit you displayed and would like to reward you and each of the other students who were at every game this fall.
We would like to personally invite you to the spring football game (Huskie Bowl) scheduled to be held on Friday, April 22 in Huskie Stadium (time TBD).
