          They probably did. College Hockey Info had the original report of it.

                  The team already announced the new jersey in the student newspaper about a week ago. Photos an all. It would be weird to post it a week later on the Facebook page and call it a big announcement.

                        If the University of Illinois can coax the Jimmy John's CEO into giving the school $70 million or $80 million for a new rink, there will be Illini hockey in the B1G. Otherwise, it's not happening at the D-I level.

                        They run an excellent club program in Champaign, and they could probably make an easy transition into D-I college hockey, but financing the program itself is the issue. (As it always is.)

                          Is the Jimmy Johns owner a hockey fan?

                            Jimmy John's

                            On January 13, 1983, the first Jimmy John's opened in a garage in Charleston, Illinois. Paying $200 a month in rent, Liautaud could afford only used equipment consisting of a refrigerator, a chest freezer, an oven and a meat slicer; there was no ice machine.[6] Liautaud soon started delivering his sandwiches to the students of Eastern Illinois University.[7]
