Yesterday marked the fourth arrest in the last seven months for the Illini. This is something that is new to me as a fan because I haven’t seen anything like it.

I hope nothing but the best for the victims in each of these cases, whoever that may be. But for now, let’s look at this from a pure basketball perspective.
