Sources: Northwestern football has received a commitment for a $35 million gift from the family of Liz and Dick Uihlein, which is set to come over the next three years. The donation is one intended for holistic football success – including recruiting support and broader program needs. This football gift by the Uihlein family is significant, as it comes with Northwestern showing its financial commitment with the opening of the more than $850 million new Ryan Field and hire of OC Chip Kelly.
