Asmussen | Chesnut the inside man for Illini football

There are lots of jobs on the Illinois campus I would try ... for a day.

President? Easy. Raise faculty salaries, lower tuition and give the students a day off for every football win. I expect a residence hall to be named in my honor.

Athletic director? So much fun. Start hockey, pay the players and put Loren Tate in the Athletic Hall of Fame as a contributor.

Basketball coach? Sign me up. Schedule a 10-year home-and-home with Kansas, bring Kansas State to State Farm Center for a game and tell Ayo Dosunmu he is going 40 minutes in the opener.
