[NU Sports] NU on TV

[Labbe John]

They probably didn't even ask for permission to use the name of the  
university.  If they had gotten permission, they could have used a  
real picture and building name.   Not sure what happened at "Crawford  
Hall," but it doesn't sound like something NU would have approved.

Here's a link to an interesting article from Northwestern magazine  
about the permissions process for using Northwestern in TV and film:

I figure that often times when you hear the university's name in  
passing on TV or in a movie, they didn't get permission.
