Why is Brad Underwood on ever list of coaching candidates? He’s handsomely paid, recruiting well, an amazing AD. It just doesn’t make sense. He should be on the off limits list on schools not named Duke, Kansas, UNC.

This is the darkest day in Illini basketball history. A fan favorite with this kinda charge. It’s obviously sadder than anything basketball. It’s the demise of a person. I really hope the victim is okay, and that the correct person goes away forever for this crime.
