Illinois fired their HC today after an internal investigation of the program.

I predict they will hire someone at least as terrible as he was, if not more. (EDIT: According to the Tribune, they named OC Bill Cubit HC. That's not too terrible of a decision... surprisingly. He was decent at WMU for a while.)

Don't get me wrong - Beckman sucked - but how incompetent is it to fire your coach a week before the season because of the results of an investigation? Schedule the investigation for earlier, and get on that.

The alllegations came out, hilariously via twitter rant, in May. Should've been completed no later than June.

Illinois sucks!

I don't think Cubit rowed the boat as well as Fleck does.

Speaking of which, they are going to give MSU a battle. Strange first game, on the road at the best team in the MAC (IMO).

Wow. So, bump someone up to interim coach for the year I assume.
