[NU Sports] Scary article in the Sun-Times

[NEONRye at aol.com]

Having met Jim Phillips at the Annual Sports Night in NYC, and heard him  
answering questions from the alumni who were present,I feel confident that he  
will ratchet up NU's marketing of its gridiron home games.  He is a very  
enthusiastic, "go-getter" type, and seems to have a good feel for the business  end 
of the job.  He emphasized how his dad used to take him and his  siblings to 
'Cat games at the old Dyche, having grown up in Chicagoland, and I  think he 
really wants to have outreach to the area and not just alumni to fill  the 
seats.   And he also talked about possibly hiring a marketing firm  to help.  He 
just needs time, and hopefully the support of President  Bienen's successor, to 
make this happen.   Fitz, of course, should be  a big help here, and should be 
the centerpiece of trying to expand the Purple  footprint throughout the 
surrounding communities.
