Former Northwestern athletic director Derrick Gragg sells Glenview home for $2.45M

Chicago Tribune21-02-2025

Former Northwestern University athletic director Derrick Gragg, who oversaw the university's athletics from 2021 until 2024, on Wednesday sold his six-bedroom, 5,770-square-foot house in Glenview for $2.45 million.
Gragg, 55, was the longtime athletic director at the University of Tulsa before joining Northwestern in 2021. He weathered a hazing scandal in Northwestern's football program and the eventual firing of the school's longtime head football coach, Pat Fitzgerald.
Last year, Gragg shifted to a new role as vice president for athletic strategy at Northwestern.
Built in 2008, the house that Gragg sold has 7-1/2 bathrooms, three fireplaces, a two-story foyer, a bridal staircase, a living room with a marble hearth and a library with cherry millwork and built-ins. The kitchen has a large flamed granite working island, two Miele dishwashers, an apron-style kitchen sink, twin Sub-Zero refrigerators, four Sub-Zero freezer drawers, a commercial-grade six-burner Wolf stove and griddle, a pot filler faucet and a warming drawer. The house also has two laundry rooms, a primary bedroom suite with tray ceilings and two walk-in closets and a balcony.
Other features include an attached four-car garage and a lower level with heated floors, a large rec room with a full bar, a 1,000-bottle wine cellar, an exercise room and a theater room with stadium theater seating. The house sits on a 0.8-acre property.
In Glenview, Gragg listed the house in January for $2.4 million an agents-only network. He found a buyer just three days later.
Public records show that an opaque land trust was the buyer.
The house had a $42,455 property tax bill in the 2023 tax year.
Listing agent Paul Gorney of eXp Realty could not be reached for comment.

Dynamon and Webfleet partner to deliver low-cost insights for fleets

Fleet optimisation software specialist Dynamon has teamed up with Webfleet, Bridgestone's global fleet management platform, to offer decarbonisation reporting aimed at accelerating the transition to electric and low-emission commercial fleets.

The offering enables businesses to make informed decisions on vehicle replacement, EV rollout strategies, charging infrastructure, and low-carbon fuel alternatives, without the expense of external consultancy. According to the companies, the solution can cut the cost of traditional decarbonisation assessments by up to 80%, making it significantly more accessible for operators under pressure to meet environmental and regulatory targets. The collaboration is enabled through which facilitates seamless data exchange between platforms. This integration allows users to assess vehicle suitability, plan infrastructure, and conduct detailed total cost of ownership (TCO) analyses—critical components of any fleet decarbonisation strategy. 'Decarbonising a fleet can feel like stepping into the unknown and can be complex, costly and full of uncertainty,' said Dean Mahoney, Business Development Director at Dynamon. 'By combining Webfleet's telematics data with Dynamon's advanced simulation and insight tools, we take the guesswork out of the journey and give fleet operators the confidence to move forward.' Beverley Wise, Regional Director for the UK and Ireland at Webfleet, added: 'Our collaboration with Dynamon empowers fleets to transform their operational data into practical steps toward decarbonisation.

Northwestern University announces hiring freeze, other cutbacks amid federal funding freeze

Northwestern University is making cutbacks and other financial moves following a freeze of federal funding by the Trump administration. In a letter issued Tuesday, officials announced reductions to administrative and academic budgets, likely leading to decreases in staff positions. The university also put a hiring freeze in place, and will not pay out merit bonuses. Officials are also reviewing planned spending for building and system upgrades. Northwestern cited "potential federal changes — including but not limited to a substantial increase in the endowment tax, constraints on our ability to enroll international students, caps on indirect cost recovery, and a likely reduction in overall federal research funding," as reasons for its financial struggles. In April, the Trump administration froze $790 million in federal funding at Northwestern. The freeze affected grants from agencies like defense, agriculture, and health and human services. Northwestern was one of several universities subjected to of what the Department of Education calls "explosions of antisemitism" on college campuses in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war. The initial report cited Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which protects individuals from discrimination based on national origin and applies to schools and institutions of higher learning that receive federal funding.

Iowa baseball star earns Perfect Game All-American honors

Iowa baseball star earns Perfect Game All-American honors After a stellar junior campaign with the Hawkeyes, Iowa baseball ace pitcher Cade Obermueller has been named a Perfect Game third-team All-American. The left-hander is the Hawkeyes' first All-American honoree since Brody Brecht and Keaton Anthony earned it in 2023. The Iowa City, Iowa native earned the third-team All-America distinction after going 5-3 with a 3.02 ERA in 15 starts. He posted five quality starts and fanned 117 batters over 83.1 innings. His 117 punchouts rank second all-time in program history for strikeouts in a season. The highlight of Obermueller's 2024-25 season was his complete-game performance at Northwestern on March 4. In that game, he recorded a career-high 12 strikeouts while giving up only one hit, one run, and one base-on-balls in a 12-1 Hawkeyes run-rule win. Obermueller's third-team All-American honors add to his growing list of accomplishments from the past season, which now includes a 2025 All-Big Ten Tournament team and an ABCA/Rawlings NCAA All-Midwest Region first-team selection. While Obermueller could be in line for more honors following the conclusion of the 2025 College World Series later this month, a potential return for his senior season with the Hawkeyes could be vital to the program's success as they hope to return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2023.
