Wasn’t sure where to put this but the Athletic/ NYT put an update to their P4 football program valuations if they ever went private. Also not sure if there is a paywall (I subscribe to the NYT) but long story short we are ranked 30th out of 68 P4 programs at $568m (vs $405m last year). IU got a...

Credit unions can be a bit more forgiving but yeah, fee income is the golden goose for most banks.

Yeah it’s an $18bln bank in assets, which is respectable but still small for a regional bank. It’s a pretty bold move to spend $6mil per year for a bank that has earned about $125-135mil in net income for the last 3 years.

Let’s look at this list again at EOY.

I’m just glad I can watch an Illini game in person when the team flies out to Oregon (and even Seattle). FWLIW I wish the Pac12 was intact too, though. I feel bad for Oregon state and Washington state. While neither were perennial contenders they took steep nosedives after everyone left. They’re...

KB has to play on the same team as Boyd.

Really not interested in seeing more sub .500 conference-record teams from major conferences get in. I’d rather see the low- or mid- major teams that dominated their conference play that just somehow lost their conference tournament get in finally. That’s the best way to expand this thing.

I’ve watched nearly every Ducks game for the last three years he’s played (my kids go/went there). He’s a great pickup for the Bears. Very canny and clutch player and saved the Ducks on more than one end of game situations, including a game winning interception against Penn State and strong...

Ppl also need to have more faith in the staff’s ability to develop players pre and throughout the season- despite the evidence we’ve seen the past few years.

Come on Stoj, we’re getting the band back together!

Will’s footwork, cutting and decision-making are only getting better too. That was a great highlight reel.

And yet also be able to fit in a small car with 20 others.

Wasn’t sure where to post this, but it looks like the B1G earned just under $70m for the men’s and women’s basketball tournaments this year, while our men team alone earned $10.4m for making it to the final four. Of course all the money gets paid to the B1G and all the spoils for every team are...

Will there be a ceremony at half time at a home game next season to hang his jersey? Same question for the Final Four banner…? Was curious when we might know. It might be cool to fly into Champaign for that game.
