[NU Sports] NU announced today

[Roy S. Lamberton]

At least Fitz gave him his release, instead of the "usual" practice of trying to keep the
kid around for 3 more years on the bench just in case the feature back goes down.

Fields had a lot of promise, but never quite got it going with NU - he's a good kid, was
always positive about his role, and worked hard. I really expected him to be "the guy"
this year.

He's a smart kid, and he'll go play somewhere else, maybe even Div I, and do well in a 2
back system with a fullback. He deserves it a better shot.
