The University of Illinois Division of Intercollegiate Athletics (DIA) is selling a limited edition poster celebrating the 2001-2002 football and men's basketball teams. The poster highlights the first season that Illinois has won Big Ten Conference Championships in both football and men's basketball since the 1983-84 school year.

Only 3000 posters were produced, and they are only commemorative posters officially licensed by the University of Illinois that celebrate the Big Ten Championships. The unframed, 17"x 22" posters were sold for the first time at the DIA annual spring merchandise sale, April 20.

Remaining posters are now available for purchase for $5.00 (including tax) through the DIA marketing and promotions office at the Bielfeldt Athletic Administration Building, 1700 S. Fourth Street in Champaign. For more information or for phone orders, call the marketing office at 217-244-0016. (A $3.00 shipping and handling charge will be applied to all mail orders).
