Simon Cvijanovic, a starter who left the program during the 2014 season, accused Beckman of abusive behavior and much more.
Former Illinois starting tackle Simon Cvijanovic, who left the program midway through the 2014 football season, went on an extended Twitter rant Sunday, accusing Illinois coach Tim Beckman and the Illini program of mistreating players.
He also ripped the NCAA and the current scholarship system, and called for college athletes to unionize, an issue particularly pertinent to Northwestern.
On Twitter and in an interview with Shannon Ryan of the Chicago Tribune, Cvijanovic specified his allegations.
