This is my favorite story I’ve written for @thedailynu.
If you are a Northwestern sports fan or interested in how the NBA Draft process works, I’d highly recommend reading this story about Nick Martinelli’s journey.
So grateful I had the opportunity to cover this story!

Nick Martinelli ended his college career as one of the nation’s most prolific, yet unorthodox, scorers. At the NBA Draft Combine, he had a week to prove to NBA teams that his game could translate to the next level. — Reported by @charlie_perlman dailynorthwestern.com/2026/05/26/spo…

Pat Ryan Jr. gave credit to former Evanston mayor Steve Hagerty for his support for Ryan Field and for making it a true community space.
Hagerty: "It's a great day to be a Wildcat. It's a great day to be a Wildkit. Great day to be a Trevian."

Pat Ryan Jr: Ryan Field's opening is on time for Oct. 2.
There will be no concerts at the stadium until 2027.
Other events;
ETHS will take on New Trier on Oct. 16 at the New Ryan Field.
ETHS men's and women's basketball will host New Trier at Welsh-Ryan next winter.

Led by graduate student goalkeeper Jenika Cuocco and sophomore defender Mary Carroll, Northwestern lacrosse held North Carolina scoreless in the fourth quarter of the national championship — the only team to do so all season.

That's probably the last time for me to be here covering Northwestern sports as a student. The love of the game exemplifies the distance between Cermack-Chinatown and Noyes CTA stops, stemming from last August’s soccer to this spring with a WLAX title run.
What a journey.

Northwestern’s student section is showing out today (left half). As @yyanyanli1 said, should break the attendance record.

Agreed. @jemccl_ believes the best solution is to grant those players two years of eligibility, and I think that would be reasonable.
Charlie Perlman@charlie_perlman
A shocking NCAA move at one of the worst possible times. This debate goes far beyond eligibility rules. This is more about the American vs. European youth development model colliding as college sports struggle to define whether athletes are amateurs or professionals.
