Former Illini offensive lineman TONY PASHOS was honored on the field between the first and second quarter for his contribution to the football program. The longtime NFL player and his wife MICHELLE donated money to sponsor the school's offensive line room. Pashos will have his name affixed to the room, which is currently run by his former teammate and buddy, LUKE BUTKUS.
"I've written some big checks before that I've cried about," Pashos said. "This wasn't one of them. Nobody had to really sell me."
Pashos said he wasn't worried about the status of the program when he made his donation. He went through both winning and losing seasons during his Illini career.
"This is when they needed me the most," Pashos said.
