Illinois is making progress in its search for an athletic director, and a new name has emerged as a strong candidate.
An industry source told the Tribune that the school has serious interest in Brad Bates, the athletic director from Miami (Ohio). Bates was a walk-on defensive back at Michigan under Bo Schembechler, has a doctorate in education from Vanderbilt and has helped rebuild a football program that last year won the Mid-American Conference.
