Illinois just fired their head coach for mistreating players. Wow, what a time to do that. Right at the start of the season.

Wow, indeed! Here's what NPR had to say: 'One week before the school's football season starts, the University of Illinois has fired head coach Tim Beckman, saying a review had found "efforts to deter injury reporting and influence medical decisions that pressured players to avoid or postpone medical treatment and continue playing despite injuries."'
