Announcement / FYI for you fucking idiots:
Northwestern isn’t some random scrub that “came out of nowhere.” This is the exact same playbook people laughed at with Indiana.
They just dropped $850–875 million on a brand-new Ryan Field. Privately funded. Ryan family alone put up $480 million. That’s not a locker-room upgrade — that’s an NFL-style stadium. Meanwhile the Bears are packing up and moving to fucking Hammond/Gary because Illinois couldn’t get its act together. Northwestern built a palace while the NFL team flees the state.
They also just got another $35 million purely for the football program. Bankrolled.
David Braun isn’t some random interim. He came from North Dakota State (actual FCS dynasty). He’s got Chip Kelly as OC — actual Chip Kelly, fresh off helping Ohio State win a title — plus Jerry Neuheisel, the blonde-haired UCLA guy who stepped up as play-caller last year and helped them stun Penn State. This isn’t a scrub staff.
Clearly they should be ranked. They’re not some dumb shit team anymore. College football changed. Follow the money. Bankroll the program, get the right underdog coach and staff, and the old hierarchy looks stupid. Indiana proved it. Northwestern is running the same experiment with better facilities.
