[NU Sports] Walker to get long-term contract

[John A. DeGroat]

Giving Walker a five year contract tells me that 1) Murphy didn't think 
that he could get a better coach for NU than Randy. Or wasn't allowed to 
look for one 2) that NU will be satisfied with mediocrity meaning an 
occasional second level bowl game and middle of the Big Ten finishes, 3) 
that the stadium will be half empty except when Illinois or Wisconsin 
show up., 4) that no assistant coaches from major programs will have any 
interest in coming to NU, 5) low memorabilia sales levels.  All this 
translates finally into lower than need be revenues which ultimately 
will hurt the football and other athletic programs.
