First it was hockey. Thursday, it was baseball. WHY ISN'T CHRIS COLLINS PAYING ATTENTION TO NORTHWESTERN BASKETBALL?!?!?!?!?!?!? (Oh yeah, he's cool and making people excited about it.)

Northwestern will add another former Northwestern player as the third member of their staff: Patrick - not Pat - Baldwin will reportedly leave Missouri State to be an assistant under Chris Collins.

One of the more hyped basketball commitments in Northwestern's recent basketball memory will go elsewhere, as New Jersey point guard Jaren Sina followed Fred Hill to Seton Hall after decommiting in the wake of Bill Carmody's firing.

We watched Northwestern's spring football practice, and took notes, mainly on the hot dog race.

Teddy Greenstein reports that Marquette and Missouri are the two schools guard Drew Crawford could switch to for his fifth season after a redshirt allowed him the opportunity to transfer.

A roundup of Northwestern stuff from the last while, including a great ad for something we don't care about and the end of football for a few months.

More and more people are coming down on the side of paying college athletes, but it's embarrassing that there's even a debate at all. If you're against players being paid, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Brian James knows Illinois well and has tons of experience as an NBA assistant - he'll apparently swap from Doug Collins' staff with the Philadelphia 76ers to Chris Collins', which would make him Northwestern's second of three assistants.

Chris Collins is mentioned only once in this post.

According to the Wikipedia, Northwestern-Michigan was the basketball game that can provide understanding for every other game ever played. Wikipedia also apparently wants to make Northwestern look really stupid.
