Northwestern's unmitigated recruiting success, a lack of available scholarships, and a slew of seniors leaving early make us wonder: is it smart to continue redshirting pretty much everybody that comes through the program?
Northwestern's non-conference basketball schedule was supposed to feature Butler, but doesn't, and features road games at Stanford, UIC and NC State, as well as a home game against Illinois State.
Northwestern's star lax player is winning a vote, their baseball coach is - once again - not fired, Kanye West is backing the Cats, and the basketball team loses a walk-on.
Northwestern scored the first five goals of the game en route to a dominating victory over Penn State. With the win, NU heads to the Final Four for a ninth straight year.

Northwestern can go to the the Final Four for the ninth consecutive year with a win under the lights against Penn State on Saturday.
Taylor Thornton of Northwestern lacrosse is really really really good, and SI noticed. And Demetrius Fields is a Bear!
With the addition of DePaul, some tweaks to the Las Vegas Invitational, and the release of Big Ten basketball single-plays, almost all of Northwestern's basketball opponents are known, and we can make inferences about the quality of the rest.
Kelly Amonte Hiller's crew defeated Stanford 15-8 on Sunday behind hat tricks from Taylor Thornton, Ali Cassera and Alyssa Leonard. They'll play Penn State with a trip to the Final Four on the line next Saturday at Lakeside Field.
The 'Cats got a first round bye and will face the 20th ranked Stanford Cardinal in the round of 16 at Lakeside Field.
Northwestern-Illinois hate doesn't take a day off. Tim Beckman co-opted Northwestern's acronym, and Snoop Dogg forgot which side of a bitter hatefeud he finds himself on.
As Charles Ramsey would say, it's a dead giveaway that ESPN doen't love us anymore. Dead giveaway, bro.
Northwestern will reportedly head to North Carolina - sup, Chris Collins! - as they play the Wolfpack in Raleigh in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.
