Illinois State Beat Writer Retires
(St. Louis, MO) – Jim Benson’s seventeenth season on the Illinois State Redbirds beat was his last. After spending over 40 years as a sportswriter, the former University of Illinois beat writer has stepped into retirement. We wanted to officially and sadly say ‘farewell Jim Benson’!
We discussed the past, the future and our fun times together. He will be greatly missed at Missouri Valley Conference events, press rooms, media days and much more. Jim is a great writer and a wonderful friend.

It was a good first day of #MTE season for the @ValleyHoops. @BustingBrackets reviews yesterday's games and previews today's.
So good. I was at the CMAs once. So well done. This song has always been powerful. I believe.
iCyMi: @DrakeBulldogsMB knocks off Miami for @CoachMcCollum first #moneyconference win! @Admire_OnAir broke it down for us and tells us more about this exciting (4-0) team.
An emotional win for UNI. 36 hours ago, they learned their teammate, one of their leaders, Grace Boffeli, suffered a season-ending ACL tear.
Two of her roommates, Maya McDermott and Kayba Laube, combined for 58 points in an historic win. Credit @TommyBirch with great questions.
