When the hell did Northwestern become a service academy?

Chip Kelly is a better coordinator than HC I think lol

Probably the same way they ended up with a brand new $850 million stadium tbh.

Because he's not HC at Northwestern, and he's one of the best OCs we've seen in college in the last two decades.
