Big changes ahead for Champaign’s ice arena

Champaign’s historic ice arena could soon get a major facelift—or even a brand new neighbor. After nearly a century of skating memories, the University of Illinois is weighing whether to renovate the beloved rink or build a new one with two ice surfaces. Either way, the old arena won’t be torn down, but could be repurposed. Renovations would mean some downtime, which has local hockey players worried about losing a season. What would you like to see—an upgraded classic or a state-of-the-art new facility? #Education #College #Champaign

Ohio State’s new transfer portal game plan

Ohio State is shifting gears in the transfer portal, focusing on proven talent instead of gambling on high-priced prospects. With 32 Buckeyes in the portal and only one a starter, the staff is betting on players who can deliver right away—no more paying for "what ifs." While some fans are worried about missed targets and the lack of a scholarship kicker or punter, the Buckeyes just landed key defensive transfers from Alabama and FSU. The big question: Is this strategy the future of college football, or will it leave Ohio State behind? What do you think about this new approach? #Education #College #OhioState
