The NBA Draft deadline is midnight. The Board of Directors meets on Monday. Theoretically, we should get some clarity afterwards... or college basketball devolves into chaos when the BoD absolutely botches the decision and implementation. Either way...

This feels like the right move for Ty, but jeez, I was hoping he'd stay and force his way onto that court. I'm just a big believer in him. Alas. Wherever he goes, he'll always be an Illini. And I hope his next destination finds a way to maximize his strengths, and the fanbase loves him as much...
We sat through the disaster that was Cliffmas. We sat through the frustration that was Mark Smith's AD refusing to shut up. Give me Mirk messing around on Fortnite for 25 minutes, then going silent, only to do the Jordan return and then bring out the crew any day. It's a good time to be an Illini.
