I generally loathe childish nicknames for people and places (t sips, Lubuttock, etc), but the term “aggy” really does fit. For example, the fact that the Ags got the three seed in a four team baseball tournament and to a man were adamant that they were clearly superior to Texas is so very aggy. I just saw a guy on TexAgs who with regards to Texas vs Aggie baseball said, “The hunters have become the hunted” after we on the Austin regional. Aggy. So unbelievably aggy. Remember, Reggie McNeal was better than VY, Steve McGee was better than Colt McCoy, Courtney Lewis was better than Cedric Benson, Terrence Murphy was better than Roy Williams, Jaxson Appel was better than Michael Huff, and so on and so forth. It’s all so unbelievably aggy that even I can’t deny the validity of the term.
To be fair to lubuttock it is a dry, chafed shithole that everyone constantly scratches. Despite any remedy attempted, it still bleeds black and red. The production is either fast and loose or slow and tarry; doctors have yet to discern this obvious severe mental deficiency for as to why anyone would want to be so shitty all the time.

The "Illini" are not and never were a single Indian tribe. The term describes a group of tribes from an area much bigger than present day Illinois. Almost all of the tribes were wiped out and/or removed. The only remaining remnant is the present-day Peoria Tribe in Oklahoma. So they have a couple of problems. First, there isn't a present-day "Illini" tribe to get permission from like with the Seminole Tribe (who has a present-day band in Florida) or the Sioux (there are several bands of Sioux and I guess UND couldn't get a consensus from all of them). It's also disingenuous, in my opinion, to try and embrace Indian culture after your predecessors successfully wiped most of them out and removed the others. To then use generic Native American imagery and claim you are "honoring" them is in poor taste. The fact that nobody complained for several decades isn't a good excuse to not change.
No doubt. I agree with your position.
Any organization that uses a people as their mascot is wrong regardless of no one complaining prior to anything.
I diverge in position though in that using sports as a medium can be useful to open up meaningful and positive education about cultures and mythologies. As it stands, schools like Illinois have no where to go with anything and might as well just make uniforms that say "generic home/away team." Instead if an organization seeks inspiration from elements of the culture and mythology, it can foster the idea of people wanting to learn more. Anthropologically speaking, we owe it to every tribe and culture that was destroyed by our ancestors to honor and remember them. This kind of project can help us as a society to realize that we can't afford to lose even another single tribe. So many have already been lost and can never be brought back.

There are so many issues with that article. First, the author is an assistant professor of history, not physics or mathematics or anything having to do with the subject matter; next, the funding for this article was a religious trust; followed-up by claiming science is a philosophy as if science is somehow given to be on par with theology. Lastly, they didn't actually provide sources for anything they referenced in that article.
In conclusion, I don't find this to be anything but gobbledygook. I got about past the first diagram where they explained the experiment and recognized that this is bollocks. The article is a sham.

It would take a suicidally bold university administrator to try to go back to an ethnic mascot, no matter how well-intentioned and well-thought out. Which is too bad, I agree that done well they can benefit everyone.
It seems their only choice is to change mascots. Perhaps they could choose something from the Illini mythology as that isn't about a people or any ethnic issue but it would still honor the tribe and help bring education about that tribe and its culture.

The Illini are a native American tribe, but they weren't able to cut a deal like FSU and can't use it in that way anymore so they're stuck. This was their pretty cool historic logo along with the block I:
I appreciate the history. Even if they can't go back to that logo, they can still use parts of the culture from which their mascot is derived and have a mutual advancement for the tribe and the school. Surely this is something that someone has thought of?

Part of what makes it possible for one team to have fucking badass uniforms is the mascot while others are left with shot because of theirs. The traditional teams with uniforms that generally don't ever change, don't for a reason - they don't need to. A school like Illinois, with the mascot of the "Illini," literally painted themselves into a corner as no one knows what the fuck that is. More to the point, no one cares. So trying to make novelty uniforms because they have no other options is the only way they can try to compete.
