Just one week before their season opener, the Illinois Fighting Illini have fired football coach Tim Beckman, athletic director Mike Thomas announced Friday.
In a statement, Thomas said the dismissal was related to preliminary results of an external review into allegations.
"The preliminary information external reviewers shared with me does not reflect our values or our commitment to the welfare of our student-athletes, and I've chosen to act accordingly," Thomas said.
