Northwestern publishes report by Loretta Lynch on culture of athletics

“Insularity of the Athletics Department.”

This phrase captures why I am slowly slipping away from Northwestern fandom. Yes, you may argue that student athletes at NU were always apart from the rest of the student body. You may argue that greater physical separation existed in the past than today.

However, with the mega conference, BTN money, NIL schemes, unconstrained and frequent transfers, the student-athlete experience will resemble that of the mainstream student less and less as the future unfolds.

Lynch tries to spin insularity as a good thing.

No, not a good thing.

I agree with that. At the moment, it still resembles the student-athlete model outside of the very elite. I’m going to stick around until it becomes too different or until I die, whichever comes first.
