Been to a game lately? Most of those ushers would have zero shot at breaking up a fight. They'd have to hire totally different event staff and/or bump up security.
The Crystal Ball is such a click gimmick.. Not saying Lewis won't end up at Illinois, but right now he isn't all that interested in Illinois and is focusing on a handful of other schools ahead of Illinois.. at least if you ask Terrence.
That's just how he is.
But outside of those weird purple people eaters up north, UIUC is one of the closest schools to Chicago.. he could probably even head back for class the next day if he wanted.
