Another big event visits C-U

Nike hoops clinic considered to be 'win-win' for all

Ahhh, the benefits of living in a Big Ten city.

Music and the arts are available to us on a regular basis. Big-name acts come to State Farm Center or Krannert or the Virginia.

We are lucky to be here.

The advantage is even more pronounced in sports. Six or seven FBS teams visit Memorial Stadium every season and another 20 each in men's and women's basketball.

Then there are the Blue Light specials. Like this weekend's Nike Championship Basketball Clinic.

The three-day event is being hosted by Illinois men's coach Brad Underwood at State Farm Center.
