Instate tuition back in the 70's couldn't be passed up 😁
Allegiance will always lie with the Warriors of course. Heading down for the game, haven't seen the campus in probably close to forty years.

Look a little closer at the first and third ones.  I know you know who they are; these are just pictures of them when they were way younger.

Jerry Orbach was not an alum. Went to U of I for a year, then transferred to Northwestern, where he spent two years, but did not receive a degree.

What's important here, is Briscoe graduated from Waukegan HS, which also produced Warrior legend Jerome Whitehead.

#3 also did not graduate from U of I, though he started there on a football scholarship. Transferred elsewhere.

So he's an alum. You literally described an alum. You don't need to graduate to be an alumnus, you just need to have attended the school.

Jesse attended U of I ( IU is Indiana- no one refers to Illinois as IU, especially since they hate IU basketball, or did when I was there) as a freshman on a football scholarship, then transferred back to North Carolina A & T.

But it has been decades since I read his bio. or it being mentioned much in Chicago. That's why I am here to learn stuff
