Just got an extension too. Such a great hire for NU, it's just crazy bad luck that it happened the same time Cig was taking over at Indiana.

Not quite. Braun was already at Northwestern in 2023. Cig came to Indiana a year later.

Yeah I remember I'm talking about on the longer-term program trajectories. I don't think Northwestern could have gotten into the title tier like IU but they could definitely get into a legit team that nobody should take for granted. Just unfortunate for them that they have to now fight against an Indiana team in addition to all of the other strong teams.

I wouldn’t say bad luck when Braun is clearly making waves for Northwestern

It’s only a few games in, but it’s good vibes for Fitz at MSU too, so it might work out for everyone.

He won't last long at NW. Either a blue blood college team or the NFL will come calling QUICK!
