Craig Sager graduated from Northwestern University in 1973, and was yet another media member to attend the school, which has produced many famous journalists. He even played the role of the team’s Willie the Wildcat mascot, which many people don’t know.
Sager passed away from acute myeloid leukemia on Dec. 15, and the university will be honoring him during the Pinstripe Bowl with these patches on players’ helmets.
