Well ****...that changes my evening plans.

Let's see when or if Athletics will inform us......or, will it be kept a secret.

It depends on your perspective.......the NIU website has a story saying men's basketball is pausing team activities:

DEKALB, Ill. -- The Northern Illinois University men's basketball game on Tuesday, January 19 has been postponed due to roster issues with the NIU men's basketball team related to positive COVID-19 tests and subsequent contact tracing.
In addition, the Huskie men's basketball program will be paused from all team activities, which will result in the postponement of NIU's home game on Saturday, January 23 against Buffalo.

It does say the game is postponed, of course it doesn't mention who the opponent is! Apparently today's opponent isn't as significant as Saturday's since Buffalo is named.
Yes, it is nitpicking, but this is the type of constant lack of details or quality writing that is Donna Turner and staff. Does anyone ever evaluate how poor of a job is being done by that office since Korcek left?

It is pretty evident that no one is as good as Korcek nor as thorough. If I were the AD, I would beg him to come back and pay him the salary he deserves. And I would for sure make use of all his talents. The man is an NIU encyclopedia and all that knowledge should be utilized in marketing. Sports Information has not been the same by a longshot since he was pushed out.

I agree with this 100%. Mike Korcek was a HUGE loss for the entire athletics department.
