[NU Sports] OSU game highlighted Randy Walker's shortcomings

Chuck, 

I don't believe your statement below is factually accurate.   In all the 
press reports I read, it was Northwestern's INSURANCE companies who were prepared 
to write the $16 million settlement check -- not NU itself.  It's not as if 
the university had a $16 million pot of money that could be spent however NU 
wished.  

In addition, I have seen no evidence that a $16 million check was written 
back in August when the settlement offer was made.  The settlement is being 
challenged in court by Linda Will and to the best of my knowledge has not been 
finalized -- hence no check.  

Based on the facts as I understand them, your statement is inaccurate and 
misleading. 

Lee
