1

Omar Jimenez, a walk-on PG for the basketball team in 2011-2013, has made national headlines for being detained by police along with his camera crew while covering the Minneapolis protests on the morning of May 29, 2020. Omar was academic all-B1G in 2013, and he started interning at CNN while at NU. He would be an interesting interview if any of the InsideNU editors have the chance to get one with him.

Pack wants to interview Fitz

I personally don't think Fitz would do well in the NFL, being much more of a rah-rah culture guy who can sell NU than an X's-and-O's wizard, and those are the types of coaches that excel in the NFL, where everybody is working for a paycheck and there's no loyalty from club to player or player to club. If Fitz is smart, he'd realize that too. Lifetime appointment at NU beats a 3 year gig in the NFL. But even if he goes, we'd do fine. We have Ayeni and we may be able to pull Kafka (and some people's fervent wish may just become realized).
