I can’t agree more. I grew up in Champaign County and the Chief was always revered…you would never see him racked against the goal post in the third quarter, because he was always treated with respect and dignity. I am also an alumnus of the University, and upon being asked to contribute once, I pretty much have said as much that I will never give one cent until the Chief is restored. They (the trustees) sold out to the NCAA for money. As far as I’m concerned, they are a bunch of spineless bean counters who have destroyed our time-honored traditions, and they should all be removed.
Maybe we need a U of I “Tea Party” call to replace all of them.
