Former Illinois OL Simon Cvijanovic Has Some Serious Allegations Against Tim Beckman, Illini Football Staff
Former Illinois offensive lineman Simon Cvijanovic took some time out of his Sunday to make some pretty serious allegations against the Illini's football program.
Cvijanovic, whose college career ended last November when he injured his shoulder, says he was constantly asked to play through pain.
The 6-foot-6, 310-pound former offensive tackle posted a series of tweets that detailed his allegations against coach Tim Beckman and the Illinois athletic department. They're pretty damning.
