It's safe to say that we as Illini fans expected the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics to make a major decision at the end of the football season, no matter the team's record or postseason status. But when the University of Illinois announced Monday morning that Mike Thomas would no longer be the athletic director, we could only wonder why the decision was made to release Thomas with 3 weeks remaining in the football season. Luckily, the situation taking place in Columbia Missouri will overshadow most of what Illinois released in their investigation...but there still is a fair amount of head scratching going on within Illini nation.
