[NU Sports] A nice idea, but . . .

[Jim Bendat]

Just got a notice from the Northwestern Alumni Association about a couple of gatherings in Phoenix in conjunction with the NU-Arizona State game there in September.

There's a reception with President Bienen on Thursday, Sept. 15th from 5-6 pm.  That one is $50 per person.

Then, there's a game-tailgate with a couple of options.  The one with the tailgate only is $60 per person.  The one that includes a game ticket and bus to the stadium along with the tailgate is $115 per person.

All of these are great ideas, but they are rip-offs of the first order.  I'll just see everyone at the stadium.   Go Cats!
