What's funny is that applications may go up, but attendance may not. Figure that one out.

Do we really need a Harvard professor to tell us that?
I would bet that NIU attendance will increase. How much, I don't know.
Check out the anti-Harlem Shake video on the same page.

New NIU lipdub should be posted by next week. It is 90's themed.

...other than hosting 2 AQ teams in DeKalb one of which is ranked in the preseason top 20, with FSN advertising the game for weeks before kickoff on TV. On top of that our athletics office had great marketing execution.
2004 was just a carryover from the early 2003 sellouts and continuing marketing.

I think we'll have respectable attendance this year. It does though seem to be a different envirmonment nationwide compared to a decade ago. Everyone is down a bit, everyone's in love with their laptop and Ipad...
