GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
Jeff Jordan, the son of Michael Jordan, has turned down scholarship offers to Loyola and Valparaiso and will walk on at Illinois, the Chicago Tribune is reporting. Jordan is a 6-foot-2 guard who had nine points, two steals and one assist in the recent Brand Jordan All-American Classic high school all-star game. He's a decent player, but he wouldn't have been invited to that game if it weren't for his last name: There's a reason no Big Ten schools offered him a scholarship.
Still, as an Illinois alum I love this. It's good PR for the basketball team, which desperately needs some good PR right now. And it's a good sign that the Illini could land Jordan's younger son, sophomore Marcus, who is definitely good enough to earn a scholarship at a big-conference school. And don't feel bad about being a walk-on, Jeff. Your dad can afford the tuition.
