[NU Sports] final thoughts RE: 4th Quarter

[NEONRye at aol.com]

Art,
Your "dream conference" is a very interesting concept, albeit quite radical  
in some respects, but why limit it only to football?  If there's any sport  
where NU certainly doesn't measure up to Big Ten standards, it's Men's  Hoops.  
And as for other sports, NU and its new conference mates can hold  their own 
in many of them.
 
By the way, speaking of Hoops, how come the deafening silence here in terms  
of today's resounding victory for one of our all-time greats in Women's  
Basketball, Anucha Browne Sanders?  I met Anucha at NU Sports Night in NY  over 
Summer, the annual NU Club of NY event.  She was impressive then, and  knowing 
what I knew about the case, and about discrimination cases in general  (as my 
partners do a lot of them, and I am sometimes involved), I was not  surprised 
that Madison Square Garden, James Dolan (one of the worst owners in  
professional sports, a one-man wrecking crew), and Isaiah Thomas got creamed by  the 
jury.  This was a train wreck waiting to happen, and the arrogant  defendants 
spurned settlement and now are publicly humiliated and stand to be  much poorer as 
well.
