I’m writing a musical. It’s called “Fuck You, U of I” and features such show-stopping hits as:
- “The ‘I’ Stands for ‘Incompetence’”
- “This Class is Required to Graduate but is Only Offered Once a Decade”
- “We Have No Money, so Let’s Renovate the Kibbie Dome!”
- “Oh, We Promised You a Job? Sorry, You Out of Luck, Bro!”
- “Fuck Bitches, Acquire Debt”
- “Oops, We Lost Your Tuition Check!”
- The Ballad of the Athletes on Academic Probation (Alternate Title: “Blame the Profs!”)
- “We Have No Money, so Let’s Renovate the Kibbie Dome!” (Redux)
Every damn year with this place, man. Every. Damn. Year.

Ever since graduating I have been really bothered by what I see the U of I doing. The athletes on probation thing exists everywhere (and in some places is much worse). The way UI chooses to spend its money, especially when it claims to be in a funding crisis is pretty bad though.
