Purdue and Illinois will suffer a combined three fewer losses this year.
So spring football? Conditioning sessions outdoor in February in northern Illinois? *The players would normally be there already, since the season would start around Labor Day.( Those of us who actually live in Illinois all year realize that won't work. But a visitor such as Pritzker would not be aware. And his closest advisors probably don't know any Illinois HS football players either, so they want to start next year in the middle of the next flu season. What could possibly go wrong?
