Among our 19 sports, 15 went on to NCAA able to operate its $70 million budget in the black. We pride ourselves on being able to provide postseason action, which is something we haven’t done here at Illinois since — the best resources for our student-athletes while also maintaining strong fiscal responsibility. We well, maybe ever.

We did all this while our 19 sports, which for this past year was nearly $9 million, with an additional $4.5 million spent adhering to our criteria for excellence: integrity, academic performance, balanced on student-athlete support services. budget, championship programs, gender and ethnic equity, facilities and caring community. FACILITIES: While we didn’t open any new facilities during the 2008-09 school year, we have been in a building frenzy over the past five years. The Memorial Stadium renovation has given us CHAMPIONSHIP PROGRAMS: I think the most exciting thing about this past more resources than we ever dreamed it would provide, with more hospitality opportunities for the season was the number of teams that have taken their programs to new levels. general public as well as our own DIA staff. In 2008-09, we were able to enjoy the previous year’s One of my greatest memories of 2008-09 was the amazing run of our women’s gymnastics team. additions to the Irwin Academic Center, Eichelberger Softball Complex and Khan Tennis Center. Coach Bob Starkell and his staff have been building up to this year, becoming one of the 12 elite teams to make the NCAA Championships. Another outstanding turnaround came from a youthful INTEGRITY: At Illinois, having success on the field must be done so with the highest emphasis on women’s tennis team. In just three years at the helm, coach Michelle Dasso has taken her squads to integrity. We require that all coaches, staff and student-athletes adhere to the rules and regulations two NCAA Tournaments and its best finish in 2009, advancing to the round of 32. First-year head put forth by the NCAA as well as operate with the utmost ethics.

  • James Taylor: Making Music and Memories by John Fries
    Pittsburgh Boomers | August 2005 James Taylor: Making Music and Memories By John Fries If you went to high school during the 1970's, as I did, you'll recall a lot of really great music -- on the radio, in the school cafeteria at lunchtime, and on the eight track tapes you punched into your car dashboards at night while driving around. While the musical landscape offered something for everyone, much of it seemed to fall into two distinct categories: straight-ahead rock and top 40 pop. Here in Pittsburgh, we were either tuned to Trevor Ley playing Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd on 'DVE or listening to the "New Sound of 13Q," which played a wide and eclectic mix of whatever was in the top 40 at the time. The top hits of the day were listed each week in the pocket-sized "hit parades" KQV and 13Q published and provided for free in local record stores. The list could include any combination of rock, power pop, country, rhythm and blues, vocalists, the occasional novelty record, and that 70's radio staple known as the singer-songwriter. Remember them? The mellow music makers who played guitar or piano, wrote meaningful, introspective lyrics, and served up gentle melodies? The singer-songwriter sections of our 45 collections included titles by such artists as Jackson Browne, Neil Young, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, John Denver, Paul Simon and a West Coast band of country rock upstarts called the Eagles. Although they were - and are -- all great artists, James Taylor became the undisputed king of the genre.

  • Mega Conferences
    Non-revenue sports Football, of course, provides the impetus for any conference realignment. In men's basketball, coaches will lose the built-in recruiting tool of playing near home during conference play and then at Madison Square Garden for the Big East Tournament. But what about the rest of the sports? Here's a look at the potential Missouri Pittsburgh Syracuse Nebraska Ohio State Northwestern Minnesota Michigan St. Wisconsin Purdue State Penn Michigan Iowa Indiana Illinois future of the non-revenue sports at Rutgers if it joins the Big Ten: BASEBALL Now: Under longtime head coach Fred Hill Sr., the Scarlet Knights made the Rutgers NCAA Tournament four times last decade. The Big East Conference’s national clout was hurt by the defection of Miami in 2004. The last conference team to make the College World Series was Louisville in 2007. After: Rutgers could emerge as the class of the conference. You find the best baseball either down South or out West. The power conferences are the ACC, Pac-10 and SEC. A Big Ten team has not made the CWS since Michigan in 1984. MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY Now: At the Big East championships in October, Rutgers finished 12th out of 14 teams. Syracuse won the Big East title and finished 14th at nationals. Four other Big East schools made the Top 25. After: The conferences are similar. Wisconsin won the conference title and took seventh at nationals. Two other schools made the Top 25. MEN’S GOLF Now: The Scarlet Knights have made the NCAA Tournament twice since 1983.
