Yes, that’s the same Northwestern that charges its undergraduates an Athletic Events Fee built into their tuition bill every quarter. The same Northwestern that, despite not charging extra on top of the aforementioned forced fee for tickets to athletic events, still struggles to fill its student section for marquee Big Ten matchups. The same Northwestern whose football team currently sits at 2-3, reeling from a 56-7 blowout in Nebraska that has all but confirmed that it will fail to play meaningful games for the duration of the 2021 season.
