The Foundation: Football 2016
The Foundation: Northwestern Football is here!
This football season, Northwestern Athletics invites fans to get closer to the Wildcats than ever before with the launch of the new television series “The Foundation: Northwestern Football.” Borrowing its name from the acclaimed web series that chronicled Northwestern’s spring practice season, “The Foundation” will take viewers behind the scenes of the Northwestern football program — from exclusive access inside team meetings and on the sidelines to one-on-one interviews with student-athletes and coaches.
"The Foundation” will highlight the action on WIldcats game days while also focusing on the stories and people involved with Northwestern football away from the field. Produced by Northwestern’s award-winning Studio N and narrated by the Voice of the Wildcats, WGN Radio Sports Director Dave Eanet, “The Foundation: Northwestern Football” will air on Wednesdays this fall on Comcast SportsNet Chicago and the Studio N YouTube channel.
