[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1319774, member: 588522"] Yeah I agree and this is exactly what they are doing, but the inaugural class is something special that, while did have a good, diverse list of entrants, is missing the best coach from the second (arguably first) most popular sport at Illinois. He won the most games in our history and made what Illini basketball is today. If we were making a list of influential people in Illini sport history, it would be hard to leave him off the top 5. People would've complained if anyone would've been left off. But I would've much rather had someone like George Halas be left off, if we had to cap it at 28. There are plenty of names out there that could've been sued to headline this upcoming class. [/QUOTE]
