RE: Weber Gone
In all reality, the ILLIOU didn't want Jimmy Collins as a head coach so why is a black head coach so important now ? Richardo Patton is available.

I think the higher-ups at Illinois are worried that they've never hired a black head coach for anything. Image, I s'pose.

They've hired African-American/minority head coaches, just never for football or men's basketball. I think it's largely a response to the two trustees who spoke out after BOT meeting where they held the vote on Beckman.

Glad somebody who knows more about it spoke up, I was just going off something I heard.
