Steve Raquel, the 29th Chief Illiniwek, and current President of the Council of Chiefs, joins Deon and Eric to share insight into the University’s decision on the War Chant, as well as some history on Chief Illiniwek and how the Chief was “retired” in 2007. Deon also shares his views, as a former Illini athlete.The FadeAway is hosted by Deon Thomas and Eric Schmidt. Deon currently does television studio work for the Big Ten Network and radio color analysis during Fighting Illini Men’s Basketball games.
