[NU Sports] USA Today articles

[Jonathan Hodges]

Since Fitz is a coach at a private school, his salary has not been
officially released (and since NU is private, it can't be obtained via a
FOIA request), but there are some estimates floating around.

In any case, each year 63 coaches are selected (from I-A/FBS) to vote in the
USA Today Coaches Poll, and Fitz wasn't on the list this year.  The AFCA
(American Football Coaches Association) selects members of its organization
to vote (I believe all head coaches are members).
