Just announced yesterday, the University of Chicago will be joining us in the Midwest Conference as an affiliate member, meaning they'll be joining for football. We're very excited to welcome the Maroons back to the MWC, as they were a member of the conference from 1976-1987.
For my part, I first broke into the coaching ranks as the wide receivers coach at the U. of Chicago for the 2002 season. It looks like we'll get the Maroons on our schedule in 2019, and we'll head to the midway for the first time in 2020. Can't wait!!
