[NU Sports] Our non-conference schedule (fwd)

[Mike Nolan]

> That being said, I think the candidate schools are:
> Stanford 
> Vanderbilt
> Rice
> Duke
> Wake Forest 
> Boston College
> SMU?
> Tulane?
> Virgina?

I think that may be even MORE defeatist.  We can recruit against schools
in the Big 10 and against like Notre Dame, Florida, or USC.  No, we won't
win all those recruits, but neither do those schools.  We may not have
the football rep, but we've got the academic rep!

However, if all we play are no-name non-conference schools, don't expect 
to get those games on TV, so don't expect to get a recruiting boost from those
games, either.
