Agreed. Won't believe it until I see it. It it comes true, I hope he's the second coming of Tommy Amaker to the Big Ten.
Amaker I guess interviewed for the NW job back before he took the Michigan job.
The story is he wanted to see who NW was letting into school. He showed the school two players academic bios to see if they could get in. NW said the two players would not be admitted. I guess Amaker said he could not take the NW job because they would not have allowed Hurley or Laetner into NW.
I have heard that NW has way too tough of admission standards. See they actually hold regular students and athletes to the same standards. No other power 6 conference schools do this. The AD is friends with the admission people and tell the admission people to let athletes in as long as they have the base required GPA and ACT to be eligible. Northwestern doesn't operate this way. They need to losen up a bit.
