Well that's interesting and blunt.

He certainly has a lot of energy and plans but I just don't think that NIU really owns or has control of the Chicago market. I wish and hope that changes! I think that the fans and dollars are controlled by major sports and major college teams like ND. I also don't think the university is ready academically or financially. The endowment at NIU is very small and NIU has a very high level of debt. Those are not two things on his slide show in comparing to TCU, Boise, and Louisville because they would be glaring differences. Please don't shoot the messenger but I think those are major obstacles. That being said, he can certainly get some things done and he is a great AD.
