There was another development today in the effort to unionize football players at Northwestern. Here's the link, I hesitate to even attempt a summary given how complicated this is -- in short it appears to be a minor ruling in the players' favor but of uncertain importance or permanence.

Yet another reason Northwestern may not achieve their goal of winning the Big 10 in 2017.

Yeah, one just opened here. In fact, they had a "training night" where you signed up and got a free meal in exchange for rating the service etc. The food was decent, its all soups, slads, and sandwiches. She probably just wants to participate in a business with the guise of "we are trying to make money" rather than "we are trying to make money but don't want you to know about it in anyway and this is kind of indentured servitude".

Somewhere, I still have a anonymously-sent package that went out to all the area newspapers.

A private investigator (a laughably bad one, but a private investigator) was hired to look into recruiting at another school.

Another high school.

quote:

"He articulated to the staff that he did not want to leave here," Fitzgerald said Wednesday by telephone, hours after learning Parseghian had died at 94. "I can only imagine where our program would have gone if the university had had the foresight to keep Ara."

Think about it: In 1962, Northwestern went to the Horseshoe at Ohio State, gave up a touchdown on the opening kickoff and still thumped Woody Hayes' sixth-ranked Buckeyes 18-14. The next week, the Wildcats throttled Notre Dame 35-6, and then they took out Indiana.

Paul Flatley was there. A star flanker who called Parseghian "the most important person in my life," he summarized that stretch with a question, as if not even he could believe it: "Six-and-0 and No. 1 … at Northwestern?"

Yes, the Wildcats were No. 1 in the AP poll with an innovative, up-tempo, pass-happy offense decades ahead of its time.

Yet by the end of the following season, Parseghian felt unsupported by athletic director Stu Holcomb. He and his assistant coaches once had to dip into their own wallets to buy paint for the locker room. Friends say Parseghian read a comment in a newspaper story in which Holcomb said Northwestern might not renew his contract.

And there was something else: Holcomb had a son on the team, a walk-on, whom Parseghian would not play.

That 1962 team finished 7-2, its thin roster suffering late in the season. His 1963 team went 5-4.

An ESPN.com story Wednesday said Parseghian grew tired of "student apathy" in Evanston, but Flatley didn't see that, saying the student body was enthusiastic.

The coach who went 4-0 against Notre Dame and beat Hayes again in his final game left because of a conflict with his boss.

So he went to South Bend and woke up the echoes. He won two national championships and beat Northwestern nine times in nine tries.

"We kicked Notre Dame's rear end four years in a row, and then they hired him," Flatley said. "They were no dummies."
