Somewhat OT but some stuff going down at University of Illinois

[Deano]

Racism and abuse by women's b-ball coach's and also football coach's.

Don't know what to think here as the players have filed a $$ 10,000,000 lawsuit where that alone is an incentive to become parrots of repeating the same crap over and over. I know for a fact that lot's of players refuse to report injuries as it becomes ingrained with them long before arriving on campus.

hearsay at this point as I think most coaches are fully aware of what not to say to players that are very unhappy about playing time they think they are entitled too

Wow...nasty stories. Seems like they'll have to make some changes. Might be a good landing place for Dr. Gross. At least he has the right wardrobe.

I have no idea about the women's hoop coach but Beckman is a pr**k and none of the allegations would surprise me in the least. I have no clue how the guy is still their coach. One 6-7 finish with all this other stuff should equal his dismissal

at least cubit sometimes gets good qb play. it's all over the place, it's not a reliable system compared to others but there are some good years in there (top 20-40 in efficiency). that's the only hope for lester but it's tempered by the last 2 years. and i'd feel better if elmhurst's qbs were more efficient

On a somewhat tangential note, I saw my nephew and a friend of his last week. Both are U of I grads. His friend asked me if we still had Nancy as our chancellor. I told he no that she's gone. His reaction was, "Good for you guys. We hated her here at Illinois."

I hear ya. Although it's prob too early to say Lester can't get good QB play. Didn't have a ton of talent to work with - next season (if he makes it that far) is where we really see what he can do. Not giving him a pass for Hunt this year...

There's always two-sides to every story, but there's also no shortage of sh!tty coaches who have a God complex.

Racism and abuse by the coach's...wives? Husbands? Cats? I'm confused.

Thank god she is gone from Syracuse too. Not a good hire IMO

Bruce Weber [former Illinois head basketball coach, current KSU coach] had a similarly funny exchange with Jim Boeheim after SU hired her away from Illinois.

When Cantor's name came up in discussion, Weber told Boeheim: "She's your problem now."

she was the perfect example of how a pc society is a bad thing
