Don’t Worry Illini, Chief Illiniwek Is Only Going to Mascot Camp: For 81 years, Chief Illiniwek has been a fixture at University of Illinois games. But after a university announcement, this Wednesday’s game between Illinois and Michigan will likely be the chief’s final appearance. During the closing seconds of Illinois’ win over Northwestern Wednesday, the Illini faithful pleaded, chanting “Save the Chief! Save the Chief! Save the Chief!” Dissent among the student body is apparently widespread, but not overly outraged. A vigil outside the university president’s house is being coordinated via Facebook. [2/19/07]

The Seven C’s of Leadership
Former college basketball coach Mike Jarvis is back with a new book, The Seven C's of Leadership.
"Every one of us has leadership within us and this book offers fascinating principals that work in any setting—from the locker room to the executive board room. In The Seven C's of Leadership, Coach Jarvis lays out the essential ingredients of leadership."
-Jay Wright, NCAA Championship Men’s Basketball Coach, Villanova University
"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
"The Seven C's of Leadership is a slam dunk! Coach Jarvis has always been an outstanding leader because he has the ability to decipher what true leadership really means.”
-Dale Brown, Head Men’s Basketball Coach, LSU, 1972-1997, Member of the College Basketball Hall of Fame, and Shaquille O’Neal’s college coach
