There are a lot of students on campuswhatever it was, it didnt stop UIC from hiring him
he needed to get out of town, and not for work reasons but for "personal" ones. that usually means "romantic stuff" with someone besides a spouse, and likely not a UI employee, as that would be a work issue.
its all speculation , and enough has been guessed for me to leave it at that.
I like Dee and wish him well.
I can confirm. I played NAIA tennis. They have scholarship money and less restrictions on who can get those scholarships. My school actually had a kid from South Africa who had played very low level professional tennis in Germany.NAIA is a competitor to the NCAA. It mostly made up of smaller private colleges. In revenue sports NAIA is probably on average somewhere between DII and DIII, but I've read that in some sports, like tennis, some NAIA programs are right up there with good D1 programs.
My dad played NAIA basketball when he was 30 in the 70s.At one point, not sure if it is this way today, the NAIA had no age restriction. Or, restrictions on finishing in a certain amount of years. I believe you have 6 years to finish 4 years in the NCAA. UIS was a National power house in soccer at the NAIA.. when I was a freshman playing against them, they had 24 and 25 year olds from all over the world playing for them.
Prairie StarsSangamon State.. which is now UIS.. sorry
If you have never played college sports then according to the NAIA you can be a 60 year old freshman as long as you are taking the classes needed to be labeled a full time student. There was a story not too long ago where there was a grandpa playing football in the NAIA.My dad played NAIA basketball when he was 30 in the 70s.

Not actually knowing often leads to self proclaimed expertise. There is even a name for the condition..Seeing as how none of us know what it was, we can't forget about what we never knew.

I think the coach at Chicago State was Bob Halberg. I may be a little early on this, but he had some really good teamsBack in the 60's and 70's, Quincy College and Chicago State were both NAIA. In basketball one of them would usually best the other to advance out of the region in the NAIA Tournament. Quincy College won a number of NAIA Soccer Championships ( I didn't take the time to check how many). Chicago State went D1 in basketball and QC went D3 in football and D2 in basketball and soccer, though I'm not sure about the latter 2.
The people that are in charge know what happened.Seeing as how none of us know what it was, we can't forget about what we never knew.
Your post about not thinking got me to think - Yogi Berra and Winnie the Pooh both could have said that line and I never have made that connection beforeI try not to think about things that I don't think about.
Your post about thinking got me to wondering - How come we never saw Yogi Berra and Winnie the Pooh together in the same room at the same time?Your post about not thinking got me to think - Yogi Berra and Winnie the Pooh both could have said that line and I never have made that connection before
Glad I clicked the link and saw that it was 11 years old. I was wondering how in the world a 61-year-old could be a Vietnam Vet. Even if he were one of the Marines guarding the embassy in '75, if the story were current he would have been 14.I know it doesn’t have anything to do with Dee Brown, but this is obviously an informative “what is the NAIA” thread as well it seems. Here’s the article I mentioned earlier.

That was always a fun game. Locals treated it like the Super Bowl and we got free Hardee’s after the game.UIS was a National power house in soccer at the NAIA.. when I was a freshman playing against them, they had 24 and 25 year olds from all over the world playing for them.
