Bolded only for me. Miles has shown literally nothing up to this year that's he's capable of running a top tier P6 school. Painter has PU above where Weber had us after 2006. Not a Gard fan, but they are still a better program than us the last decade, likewise with Maryland. Iowa would be a yes if Fran still wasn't their HC, he's lucky his spawn are good at basketball.Would you trade our current program...coach and all...for Nebby? Rutgers? PSU? Purdue? Wisky? Minny? NW? Iowa? Maryland?
I think I know the answer to the other four?

Purdue, Wisconsin, Maryland. I want to say no to Iowa, but I think any non-Illini fan would say Iowa over Illinois.Would you trade our current program...coach and all...for Nebby? Rutgers? PSU? Purdue? Wisky? Minny? NW? Iowa? Maryland?

I was happy to see Tevian with the team. Bodes well?Stinks to have any player suspended, but I'm glad to see that Tev has traveled with the team. I don't think that's been the case in years past, has it?
You better start by doing some research on the subject, because your knowledge on the subject does not seem very impressive..
Dead wrong. Vesel, sure (and, clearly, not a mistake). Not Smith. Not Ebo. Those guys left of their own volition. Vesel was a last minute lottery ticket. Frequently, those don't work out. C'est la vie.
That's some genius-level technological wizardry coming out of Kendall County.Pro-tip: Rotating your phone (ie. landscape style) will show the avatars.
The problem wasn't Self leaving it was not finding adequate replacements. Kruger was a better coach IMHO. We went from Henson/Kruger/Self to Weber/Groce/BU.

I suggest you read the original post by 1970 John and my post that specifically talk about the positive influence of athletics, and specifically revenue sports, on academic institutions and programs, specifically attracting a larger number of qualifying candidates and donations (not only to athletics but academic programs as well). That is actually the post (with quoted facts from academic research from HBS) that you said that you disagree with everything. There are multiple publications in top journals (not only HBR, but Management Science, others and even your quoted research) with multiple supporting facts to my post (again, the one you said you disagreed with everything)
Nowhere in 1970 John's post nor mine is there a claim that "crappy athletic program can be extended as a direct reflection of its academic program (or vice a versa)" or that academic standing (I assume you mean ranking) is a direct correlation of revenue sports, so I am not sure what strawman you try to build.
I think your right about Weber not being a good fit, but I think Weber was and is a better X's and O's coach than Self.

Groce’s Illini teams were perennial NIT teams only because the non-con schedule was so soft. Once his teams got into Big Ten play, they were cooked. Never finished above .500 in the Big Ten, including the year he went to the tournament.
Groce drove this program into the ground. Revisionist history will most likely always be better. I was a big BU guy, and am losing faith by the day, but nothing could sink worse than the Groce era. BU’s biggest problem is trying to clean this mess up. He may not have enough time because he started so far behind the starting block. We’ll see.
Gents, I don't remember any serious NCAA runs from nebby, PSU, Iowa, nu, PSU. Minny had a F4 vacated and Purdue had a couple E8 I remember.
The playing field and recruiting has changed and Illinois hasn't adapted well. Who ever said we are PSU during Taylor Battle seems about right. Need to keep underclassmen core intact and we will be ok.
Steve Prohm. Don't think he'd take the job, though.Do you have an example of an up and coming coach right now who would be a great fit for the Illinois job? What does that look like? Specifically how can you tell if a coach will succeed at recruiting? Take BU for example. Obviously recruiting at SFA is completely different than UI. He comes from a strong coaching tree but what does that say about his recruiting prowess?
