I remember when bands played before the games in the beer tent which was opened to the public 21+. I was not old enough at the time so I did not check it out...does anyone have input from them?

This is going to be agreat hire.....

Another mention of Dunkin' Donuts. I love this guy.

To his credit this guy seems to have a good handle on many of our issues already. I'm impressed. Think this will be a great hire for us. Just hope we can keep him a few years.

Maybe he's trying to get some a sponsorship going. I'm guessing his plan is to convert Huskie Stadium into a bowl, maybe it can be called "The Donut Hole" or something like that.

Love it. I could even get the Grotto to make some special donut hole makers as game-day giveaways.

I agree. At least he is saying all the right things. I hope he is ready for an uphill battle as I think it is going to take time. Continued success on the field will be critical as well.

With all the talk that NIU could become FCS, this hire has come at maybe just the right time

There have been several articles posted the past few days on this, one was posted today.

Yeah, I have seen those, I thought you were talking about specifically dropping to FCS, which has been discussed many times on this board before and has not happened.

I personally feel that the Group of 5 conferences would be included with the Power 5 conferences in this new broken off "NCAA". There have been just as many articles saying that. I don't see the Power 5 breaking off by themselves. Their main goal is not to just break away by themselves, but to break away so they can control the rules more. That can be done with the Group of 5 conferences as well. The Power 5 already have the lion's share of revenue. I don't think much will change for NIU honestly, that is, of course unless we move up... which I hope Frazier feels is worth striving for.

FCS??? Not in our lifetime.
