[Oskee] Illini sports and spring so far

[John Livengood]

Does anyone know if there are university policies covering this? My personal preference is that he'd decide he's better off with a fresh start elsewhere, because he's going to face a lot of hostility from fans, I'd think. But if he, the staff, teammates and the university say it's OK then I agree with Kevin and wish him good luck because IMO he'll need it. Not that they're going to ask me. ;-)

Kevin,

I agree with you that a felon should not be an Illini athlete, drawing a 
scholarship (or otherwise for that matter).

He should be shown the door.

If this similar story were an Iowa Hawkeye player, we'd rip [Iowa coach] for 
having a felon on his team.
