State Senator Bill Brady, a Republican from Bloomington, is asking the Illinois Attorney General, Lisa Madigan, to see if the retirement of the Chief Illiniwek mascot violated the state open meetings act.
Facing pressure from the NCAA, the University of Illinois Board of Trustees quietly dumped the Chief last month. In fact the last Chief hadn't officially heard of his "retirement" from the board or the athletic department--only from media reports--up until the time of his last performance.
Here's something else Madigan should investigate: How the University of Illinois allegedly reneged on some promises for an MBA education, a Marathon Pundit piece of original reporting.
