This will be interesting. Some of you have put forward the idea that Northwestern could buy themselves back into the game. The question now is whether money will be enough to get players here and if admissions will play ball too. As I have said on here before, I think NU should strive for excellence all around and that includes on the field/court. If someone is one of the best in the world at what they do, why wouldn't we want them here just because they don't meet some artificial threshold?

Without major changes to admissions standards will NIL matter?

Article notes change to admissions timing so players can start Winter Quarter but no clue how many this impacts as no mention of standards changes

This is a bombshell report. The transfer window change and the increase and money in and of itself is potentially game changing, but even greater the explicit indication that Northwestern as an institution is "all in" on adapting to modern CFB is majo major news with revenue sharing forthcoming. What a hopeful scoop.

“Streamlined Admission Process” is music to my ears.

If NU does this right, we’ll be talking pre-SAP and post-SAP eras.

Make it so, general manager Luke Walerius!

At the very least it will help us to stop getting killed by Duke and Stanford in recruiting.
