A University of Illinois spokesperson says they'll look into accusations by former Illini football player Simon Cvijanovic that coach Tim Beckman pressured him to play while injured, and that he he was misled about the extent of his injuries.

Offensive lineman Simon Cvijanovic wrote a series of Twitter posts Sunday accusing Beckman and some staff members of not offering proper treatment for a torn meniscus in his knee.   U of I Athletic Director Mike Thomas supported Beckman in a later statement.

The games will be played in late November, along with matchups at the same time in 2017 and 2019.
