Illinois vs Northwestern at Wrigley Field, the saga continues

Representatives from each school met with Cubs chairman Crane Kenney on Sunday night about playing each other at Wrigley next season, Illinois coach Ron Zook said.

"I don't know when it's going to happen, but it would be an unbelievably great thing for both universities and the city of Chicago," Zook said. "There'll have to be some things done to get the logistics taken care of, but I had mentioned it to [athletic director Ron] Guenther a couple years ago. 'Wouldn't it be great to play a football game in the atmosphere of Wrigley?' "
