[NU Sports] not a chance

[johnadeg at comcast.net]

There was an article in the Harrisburg, PA newspaper about Ed DeChellis, Penn State's coach.  He is the lowest paid coach in the Big Ten and Penn State's AD effectively said says he doesn't plan on doing much about the basketball program.  The thinking is that DeChellis will leave when his contract is up and get an assistant's job that pays better than his current one.

I see nothing in NU's basketball program to suggest that anyone is interested in doing much about our program either.
