We're going to rename NW Indiana State. The problem with the name is that it's not IU, it's not Indiana State and it's not Northwestern, but it's adjacent to all of them. So we're going to rename them
East Chicago University.

Given they've never made any post-season ever, I'm intrigued to see what we can do with that program with new AD leadership, but no editing recruits. Just better coaching. So with the name change will come some regime change in the coaching ranks and we'll just follow their progress to see how they make out.
Here's their new men's head basketball coach.

East Chicago will host a pre-season tournament called "The Midwest Tipoff Classic" and it'll attract Level 1 programs for now. It'll be a solid schedule filler though, if nothing else.
