[NU Sports] Next year, when we play UNL

[Jonathan Hodges]

I don't believe those other schools have issues because for the UM schools
they usually display "MICH" and "MINN" while for the "I" schools they
usually display "IOWA," "ILL," and "IND."  The lack of a short designation
for Northwestern makes doing the same difficult.  I wouldn't be surprised if
they used "NEB" for Nebraska since that seems like standard practice already
and I don't think that they have a problem with that.
