University of Illinois announced an unpaid "furlough policy"...
big time earners will take unpaid furloughs...in effect giving back some of their pay to help keep the university from going bankrupt.
Some coaches at UIC are included but some in C-U are not.

U of I athletic personnel were reached by the Champaign press Tuedays night and several including AD Ron Guenther and Bruce Weber indicated they would do the same and give up some of their pay...although the official furlough policy does not apply to them. Thus it is all talk and nobody will actually know if they mean what they say.

is it gonna happen at ISU?

Zook should give all his salary back. Illinois now has less wins than Indiana over the last decade. Granted he hasn't been there but five years, but he sure hasn't helped at all. Maybe Florida knew what they were doing when they cut him.

Of course, Florida did. Urban Meyer walked into the AD's office, presented the second coming of Jesus in Tim Tebow. Tebow walked on water, threw a football off a 'gator's testicle from 120 yards away, and the deal was done. It's the same reason John the Baptist got the job at Bethlehem Junior College.
