I was referring to the University, of which the athletic program is but a part…

…was but a part? Perhaps you are correct that one cannot anymore conceive of Northwestern University without its revenue-generating athletic program.

I think schools not named Ohio State, Michigan, USC, and Oregon are in the fight of their lives over the next ~5 years (maybe less!) to remain in the P2 (whatever it’s called next…) when the next round of power consolidation takes place.

Teams will be leaving the Big Ten whether they have interest or not (or rather, they’ll remain in whatever is left of the Big Ten, while a new super league forms with the most valuable products in the NCAA).

The new NU AD has already said very clearly that we will be fully funding the $20.5M. At an event I was at. We won’t be opting out. Go Cats.

Are you being intentionally obtuse? I was referring to the athletic program, as this is a football board.

And UChicago dropped to D3 in 1973, when the financial situation was absurdly different.

No school with the intention of staying in the B1G would ever opt out. And NU has no interest in leaving the B1G.
