FW: [NU Sports] NU announced today

You really can't blame Arby for leaving and if I were in his shoes, I'd
probably leave also. He obviously wants the rock in his hands and having
dropped so far on the depth chart... 

Didn't two of our quarterbacks transfer early on this decade (under Walker)
and do very, very well in Div II/III? I think one went to Penn, obviously
another good academic school. One those QBs was a lefty as I recall.

Arby should get his pick of another academic school (and like the rest of
us, I hope he takes his long-term future into account and chooses another
good, demanding school). 

Best wishes to Arby and

Go CATS!

PS. Does his transfer count against NU in graduation rates? Or only if he
doesn't graduate from the university to which he is transferring?
