Refusal to Spend Money in Football=Poor Results
Illinois is next to last in the Big 10 in terms of its football budget...Lord Guenther, for being a football guy, continues to do things on the cheap.
This is a blog dedicated to informing folks about University of Illinois Athletic Director Ron Guenther and how he has screwed up Fighting Illini athletics. This is especially true regarding football during his tenure. If you live in East Central Illinois and you blindly believe Ron Guenther is the greatest thing to happen to Fighting Illini athletics, don't read this blog! If you care about the Fighting Illini and want to see a winning athletics program, welcome!

This seems like a "Which came first - the chicken or the egg?" question. The budget reflects revenue from the fans supporting good football. In Guenther's case, his 18 years of poor results have caused the fans to refuse to spend money for tickets.
Can someone explain how Northwestern has a larger football budget than Illinois?
Doesn't Northwestern only draw an average of approx. 25,000 fans/game in Evanston?
Where is Northwestern's revenue coming from? Where is Illinois' revenue going?
