Observations from a guy from the “Dark Ages” 79-83...
Jim phillips describes NU athletics as the front porch of the University...it’s what everyone sees and it is our face to the world at large for most people. Good insight. Great execution.
Morty has his flaws, but his understanding of athletics contributing to NU’s reputation in attracting attention, students and donations has been spot on. NU has its challenges but has a profile that few schools can offer. Big time athletics, top level academics, elite student body. Only a couple of schools offer this, Stanford, Duke, Vandy, NU.
Fitz is the guy that personifies the school in bringing these things together. He is a great fit.
Pat Ryan has been the key donor, during this transformation, not just football but the development of the campus as we know it today. He has been the constant force behind the scenes through multiple administrations. extraordinary vision and leadership.
As a student in the 1980’s I could not have imagined NU would be so fortunate to be where it is today. Go Cats.
