NIU Huskies in Time Magazine-- Part 1: Ranking

The October 7, 2013, Time Magazine had a page advertising "Excellence in Higher Education and Northern Illinois was on it. All three advertised colleges were in Illinois, so I imagine we just got these particular magazines in the Midwest area. Anyway, it was quite a shock to turn the page and see it. No doubt, we are making the best of our Orange Bowl appearance earlier this year.

Here is the text:
