Those records are great, but aside from the Marko Koers records, there isn't a one that was set within 15+ years. It is my understanding that Wineke never, ever recruited. Unfortunately, he was the head coach and in charge of the money and when your area (distance) is as bad as Illini was for that long, you are asked to leave. At the Big 10 cross meet last year (hosted by Illini), they were dead ass last!
But if they get Jerry Clayton, the distance job will be one of the last considerations (this means whatever $ is left). This is track though and the new guy could hope to make $40-42k? I would bet Gary makes that much at Ohio.
