Former Illini coach Bill Self believes you can 'win big' in Champaign

"The Illinois job is a terrific job," Self said Thursday. "It's a great job."

Self had that "great job" for three seasons, and did a great job while in Champaign before leaving for an even greater job at Kansas.

"The reason that it is a great job is that there are so many potential recruits right there in your state," Self said.
