“We must be better. And we will be.”
After a pair of alleged incidents involving fan behavior during the final months of the 2021-22 basketball season, Illinois athletic director Josh Whitman opened up Thursday afternoon and said such behavior “will not be tolerated.”
In the letter, Whitman referenced an incident involving fans making targeted remarks at Ohio State’s EJ Liddell and Iowa’s Kris Murray.
“On behalf of our university and all of us directly connected to our athletic program, to those who have been the targets of such vile rhetoric, I offer my most heartfelt apology,” Whitman wrote.
