[NU Sports] Alumni loyalty

[MHRJGScott at aol.com]

OK, time for my periodic rant about our alumni assn, the NAA is the worst  
alumni assn at a major University (apologies to Allen Wolfson and other  listers 
who work to promote the NAA). My ex-wife was director of Tulane's AA for  6 
years so I know the business. Tulane was a lot like NU notwithstanding the  
difference in latitude and attitude. Most AAs support their alumni clubs with  
staff, cash and events, many tied to sports. Not NU. NU underfunds the NAA  
because unlike any other U I know does not use the Alumni Assn to raise money,  
dumb and dumber. Maybe NU thinks that the Chicago corporate community will fork  
over a billion $ every now and then so Alumni loyalty is not important, I  
don't know and will never understand it although I have asked those who should  
have answers.
