Pretty sad situation, I always kind of liked this guy...

Jerry Kill retires

That is sad.  NIU wouldn't be what they are without him.

[Saul Goodman]

Oh, Illinois.  Bill Cubit, two years, really?

[World's #1 Astros Fan]

Wondering if Michigan State make the playoff if they knock off Iowa.

Placeholder.  They need to hire a whole new administration. Provost. Chancellor. AD. No decent coach is going to come from the outside to take this job until those positions are filled.

And you can't give a guy a 1 year deal and have him actually be able to tell a kid that the coach will be there.  He can at least lie and say he's sticking around because he has a 2 year deal in place.

Cubit isn't making enough to prevent the school from eating a year's salary.

Okay, but they should have fired Thomas and had a new AD in place months ago. Apparently no one ever told the U of I that whenever they find themselves in a hole, the first step is to stop digging.

Right. All of this would assume that Illinois actually gives a shit about their football program. Which they don't.

To be fair, I didn't realize anyone gave a shit about the Illinois football team until I visited this board.

Seriously.  They've reached a quite a nadir.  Time was, you could at least point to the basketball team as salvation, but even the basketball team is going on--what--their 4th straight year of underwhelming their opponents?

Hey now, at least they've got that win over Chicago State to hang their hat on.

Seriously though, I think I owe my almost complete apathy towards college sports to my 5 years at Illinois, and I am better for it.

I have been eternally grateful that the College of Charleston gave up on football in 1928.

Nah, I decided against an MBA.
