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.
I don't know who any of those people are so far.

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.
OMG I feel like #1 is a gimme.,..

Glass rabbit ears paper weight should give it away.
#3 also did not graduate from U of I, though he started there on a football scholarship. Transferred elsewhere.
I knew #1 without the paperweight.😁

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 Jackson arrived in Illinois as a minister from one of the Carolinas. I don't recall him attending IU

He did.
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.
My bad. Don't remember him being in Champaign
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

The first one started Playboy, the last one should have stayed out of the line of fire.

IU = Indiana. Illinois = U of I.
