They scraped Chief Illiniwek, got rid of all Indian imagery as a logo and said Illini are people from the state of Illinois. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NCAA allowed Illinois to keep the name as it is part of the state name.They just had to dump their mascot Chief Illiniwek.

I think the folks at the U of Illinois met with the Illini tribe right after the ancient Aztecs and San Diego State hammered out an agreement. Oh, wait, maybe I'm confusing that with Michigan State's administrative folks flying into Sparta a couple of years ago to meet with King Leonidas' descendants regarding MSU using the Spartan as its nickname and logo.  1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They scream Fighting Sioux Forever louder than anyone, and any glimpse of hope of a return of the Sioux name and logo is going to give them a warm, fuzzy, feeling inside.
