Wonder what the administration is doing right now with all of the attrition going on sitting back and pretending that it is not happening? Something needs to be done these athletes have no reassurance and rightly so. This is the worst I have ever seen it and fearfully it will get worse. STOP THE BLEEDING for gods sake !
To be fair, it's not like we actually know exactly what has gone on behind the scenes. All we really know is that there is no AD yet and the last Trustee meeting didn't have it on the agenda.
For all we know, things might already be completely squared away and we are all set to hire Tiley but can't publicize anything until after the Australian Open is finished for obvious reasons. Honestly, that is the least complicated scenario that checks all of the boxes in terms of what we can observe here on the ground.
On the other hand, this
is the University of Illinois, so assuming such a simple explanation that makes so much sense as that is actually true requires a bit of a leap of faith at this point. Maybe they really are screwing this up pretty horribly. We just have to kind of wait and see until the end of January. If at that point there is no answer, then I think fans are more justified to be pissed.
