Illini B-Ball

It isn't often that we can talk about major college athletics being morally instructive, but then again something like last weekends annihilation of Indiana's mens basketball team doesn't happen too often either. Thanks to some recruiting short cuts by their last head coach, Indiana this year finds itself DOA. When you add in the comments by the prize recruit of this ex-head coach concerning drug use on last years team, well, you get the idea. 

Illinois of course was the original destination of this prize recruit who was pried away by whatever means to the cream and crimson. And Illinois had a poor season, partially because of losing this prize recruit. 

Now of course not only is this years Illinois team doing a lot better, but they also seem to have a steady stream of talent coming to the school over the next few years. So the present is good and the future yet more promising.

My only problem with this is that now it's become a lot more difficult and expensive to get tickets to upcoming games.
