They just gave Illinois football a big wad of cash. So, the Smith brothers get to call the first play against Kent State, right?
Nahhh, they will leave it to the experts.
"We want them to win," the Smiths said.
On Wednesday, Springfield residents Dale and Chris Smith donated $20 million to the school. The bulk of the money will go to the new football performance center, which will be named in honor of their parents, Henry Dale and Betty.
Dale, 67, and Chris, 61, have been making trips to Memorial Stadium since they were kids.
