The University of Illinois dismissed Kendrick Nunn from the program today after he plead guilty to battering a woman. This was the 100% right call.
Illinois' athletic director Josh Whitman has not had an easy start to his career. He came into an athletic department that saw both major programs having become wreckage of what they once were. Almost immediately after fixing the Bill Cubit situation with the homerun hiring of new football coach Lovie Smith, Whitman's next test presented itself. Three of his basketball players were arrested for violent crimes. Leron Black, Kendrick Nunn, and Jaylon Tate were all hit with indefinite suspensions until the court cases ran their courses.
