I wonder if the rumors are related. Maybe "Jimmy John's" was going to be EIU's sugar daddy and the Big Ten stepped in (ME, ME, ME...ALL OF IT FOR ME!!!).

The ISU folks must be super pissed about Illinois stealing the State Farm $$$.

Did they really do that? Unbelievable. Like the "Medium 10" doesn't have enough money already.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit if it turns out that they "Grinched" away Eastern Illinois' "Jimmy John's" money and D1 hockey.

The Greed Cartel represents everything that is wrong with the "Corporate Culture" in America. What ever happened to being a Public entity founded to educate and better the people of the community? Unfortunately, this Corporatization of Higher Education is only a symptom of the true illness.
