If somebody wants to 'McNeil' me - whatever that means - then do it. I like this site, but BP will get along just fine without me and I will do just fine without BP.

Football: Odenigbo looks to start new tradition at Northwestern

Ifeadi Odenigbo?s list of suitors was lengthy.
He had taken official visits to Notre Dame and Stanford and had scholarship offers from 20 schools, including some of the finest from each of the Bowl Championship Series conferences.
Instead, the four-star football recruit shied away from the perennial powerhouses, turning down Alabama, Ohio State and Southern California, among others, to play at Northwestern, a football program that hasn?t won a bowl game since 1949.
?People talk about, it doesn?t have a tradition like Ohio State or Notre Dame,? Odenigbo said. ?I disregard that. I feel it?s more special to start your own tradition than be a part of one.?
Rather than a team?s legacy, Odenigbo gave more weight to the schools? academics and thus narrowed his decision to Notre Dame, Stanford and NU, all schools ranked in the top 20 in U.S. News & World Report?s national university rankings.
?That played the main role,? Odenigbo said. ?Academics came first, then football. I was sort of using football as a tool to get into schools I typically wouldn?t get accepted into.?
Odenigbo?s prioritizing academics ahead of athletic achievements reflects an attitude that has been engrained in him by his parents. His mother, Linda Odenigbo, is a physician, and his father, Thomas Odenigbo, is a civil engineer.
?Academics has always been a strong point in my life,? Odenigbo said.
Still with his choice of elite academic schools, many with more established football legacies than NU, Odenigbo chose the Wildcats.
?What really sold me was the people that I met there,? Odenigbo said. ?It was the players. That?s a group of people that I would want to play with.?
