The Illinois retort, hurled by President Dr. David Henry because Wednesday's conference penalty was "too harsh." forces a review of the situation by the Big Ten faculty representatives March 2-4 at the regular monthly meeting.

Although it was never confirm- ed, one story said that Elliott had been appointed to the position three hours before Mel Brewer in- formed the press of the slush fund and had been only waiting for official confirmation. Another story said that Elliott had been recruited by Northwest- ern but that he'd refused the offer. At that time, the Illinois athletic directorship was also open.
