[QUOTE="pjohnso5, post: 1177935, member: 3338"] The sad part is, there is a school up north to compare U of I to when it comes to sports. That is Northwestern. They are light years ahead of us in both football and bball. Despite the fact that they have far less money pumped into their programs, do not draw 1/2 the amount of home fans for either sport, is a school that is more academically challenging in most areas, and have harder entrance requirements for athletes. However, they have very good coaches in both football and basketball. Both teams have far surpassed the Illini in recent years and have far brighter near-term futures. It is a sad state that our 2 programs are in. I'm tired of being the butt end of jokes from other Big Ten fans. Until U of I places an importance on their major sports programs, this crap will continue for a while. It's pathetic. [/QUOTE]
