[NU Sports] Spring FB game cancellation

[Jim Bendat]

I agree with GoUPurple's thoughts about the cancellation of our spring 
football game:

Since April weather is often problematic, I'm wondering why we have our 
spring practice so early.  I can understand other schools wanting to 
finish up in April, largely because their school years end in early May. 
 But since Northwestern's academic calendar goes until June, what's the 
rush on spring ball?  The weather would be a lot better in May, and the 
odds of a spring game actually being played would certainly increase.
