That's right sports fans, DePaul University has done the impossible.
Course number ISP 102-709: Chicago Cubs, taught by professor Blair Banwart and assisted by Ed Pniak.
The syllabus includes a look at the history of the club since the 1870s and its effect on the surrounding community.
Class field trips to Cubs games and a daily conversation about what it means to be a Cubs fan.
By now you must be thinking the same thing as me...can this be real?
But there are papers and projects, like any other class. Each student must write a recap of their Cubs game experience and, for a final paper, a study of how the Cubs mix with society, such as club charities.
It has become one of the most popular classes at DePaul...only question now is what will it take for it to make its way to the University of Iowa?
