In October 2026, Chief Illiniwek turns 100 years old. Last week, my friend and U of I alum Breelyn Fay — a Native American, who still regularly portrays the Chief in full regalia in the stands at Illini games — addressed the UI Board of Trustees in Chicago and gave this impassioned speech urging the restoration of the university's retired symbol. Give it a listen. 🔶🔷 | Dave Wischnowsky
