We are really making a connection with Chicago Suburban football, especially COD and Montini Catholic High School. The kids from Montini are definitely gamers. The more we get along the way, the more suburban kids see WIU logo walking their halls. There happens to be a direct correlation between athletic recruits in a school and general enrollment. jc
