    Terrence Shannon Jr. suspended

    Same reason a lot of companies put people on paid/unpaid leave during criminal charges. Every credible university will operate in this manner

    Terrence Shannon Jr. suspended

    The D.A. builds the case. In big cases, they want to make sure they are air tight in order to assure a conviction. 3 months is not long in this case. We are not talking petty theft or a bar fight. And those judging the University, they handled exactly as would be expected. They are going to...

    Can we go one thread without blaming the Refs

    Game Thread: Illinois at Indiana

    That put in at the end of half is completely inexcusable. I can handle a lot of issues with a struggling team, but laziness is not one of them....

    They should feel good about the win and Illinois should note that this is not a gimme game

    This is NOT a good UNLV team. Illinois needs to win comfortably.

    Nebraska 75, Illinois 60 POSTGAME

    Illinois has not lost 6 of their first 8 games since the 1906 season....second season in program history. I would say this falls shy of any rebuilding expectations

    Perfectly well said. We also need to remember that this was likely the situation of an 18 year old getting drawn into media hype, trying to figure out the @right thing” to say - which there likely was no answer - and getting bad advise from multiple sources on multiple sides. Lol

    Your missing the point...To answer your questions, yes I have been to college basketball games...it’s what I do....yes, it can make national news (maybe not in the way you are suggesting). I don’t really care what Tilmon’s relationship is to Illinois fans... I only care about how Illinois and...

    It is only name calling if you fall into that category. Be a good fan, represent Illinois well, and this does not apply. If I had said "All Illinois fans are bone heads" that would be wrong and greatly exaggerated.

    I agree....Tennessee, California, it has always been the same story. He can recruit but can he coach

    We often forget that these are Kids. What exactly did Tilmon do wrong? Losing him hurt, but that happens when you get rid of the coach that recruited him (a move that needed to happen). Then, our bone head fans come out and make statements like “We don’t want him, he doesn’t fit B.U.s system...
