Join sports writers Todd Hefferman, Bucky Dent and Braden Fogal as they discuss the latest IHSA plans to return to competitions this fall, racism at SIU and how the PGA could come back before any major sports league in the Little Egypt Sports Podcast. The coronavirus pandemic shut down the spring high school sports season and could threaten the fall. As other states open up (Iowa is starting baseball and softball by the end of the month), there is hope Illinois could be open to fall competitions by August or September. All 17 of SIU's athletic teams posted black hearts and a blank, black screen on their Twitter pages to support the Black Lives Matter movement and racial inclusion. It came just days after a video of a former student-athlete that included hateful speech surfaced, and was circulated around the internet.
