No he wasn't. At last minute Big Ten Presidents decided on Warren when Phillips had been the consensus guy all along for the job for the past few years. It was an awful decison since Warren had zero experience in college athletic administration. His resume pointed towards president of an NFL team or even an entry level AD's job at a rest of 5 conference to start. In no way should he have been hired with that resume for the B1G comissioners position. Who in the heck came up with him is mind boggling but giving him the job even more soSounds like he was never offered the BIG job.
Ballpark what do you estimate the new stadium would cost?Congratulations to Mr. Phillips! He was a great AD, and Northwestern Athletics is at a much better place than it was when he took the job.
Unfortunately, Northwestern will need to hire another great AD because there is a lot of substantial decisions/actions to potentially be made in the near future.
1. I don't expect Coach Collins to be run out of town, but if the basketball program doesn't make a turn before his contract comes close to its end, I imagine the next AD will need to fill that position.
2. I have to imagine a new stadium is somewhere in the horizon ( I am betting on 2026, 100 years for the old stadium has a nice symmetry to it), and the fund raising for that has to be monstrous, if it isn't completed already.
3. There is always the possibility of Coach Fitz taking the Bears job. That would be another huge hire for a new AD.
$400 MillionBallpark what do you estimate the new stadium would cost?
Ludicrous. How can you justify that kind of money for a place used 6 or 7 times a year.$400 Million
What do you care? The money comes from donations right? If people want to donate for that cause, it’s their prerogative.Ludicrous. How can you justify that kind of money for a place used 6 or 7 times a year.

I'd assume if they're spending $300+ million there will be all sorts of offices and other space built into it for multi-use, not just gameday use.Ludicrous. How can you justify that kind of money for a place used 6 or 7 times a year.

But yeah, it's up to donors. The big donors know it's the last mega sports project on campus for a long time. Who wouldn't want to be a part of that?
Nearly everything else has already been renovated/redone for sports.
Yes exactly. If the price tag is at that level ($300-400 million) then presumably there will be much more than just a football field and seats/food areas.Notre Dame's stadium renovation cost $400 million. This included buildings attached to the structure with three-quarters of the space dedicated to nonathletic purposes, including classrooms, career services and a new state-of-the-art recreational center. There’s also a media center, a performance hall, and a music library. The attached buildings also incorporate skyboxes which look into the stadium. Now if NU does something like this it is well worth the $
