[NU Sports] Carmody inks contract extension

[Tom Maycock]

I'm sure the recruiting angle is a factor, but I think Greenstein pretty much 
answers the question in the last couple of paragraphs by noting that Carmody's 
won at a much higher rate than any of his predecessors dating back many years, 
especially so in recent years. 

Add to that the fact that he's attracting some pretty strong talent lately, and 
it's not a surprise to me that an extension was offered. 

By the way, the big new purple banners hanging in W-R look *really* nice. Classy 
move on the part of the new athletics braintrust. There are some pretty 
impressive performances noted among them. Sadly the men's b-ball banner is a bit 
sparse. 

I was particularly fond of the Lacrosse banner--celebrating four Tewaaraton 
Trophy winners in big time, and then, in somewhat understated fashion, 5 
consecutive national championship years. Cool stuff.
