Regular season
[edit]Frank Loyer Pinckney took over the coaching reins from Elwood Brown for the 1906–1907 season. After a very promising start to the season, where more than 100 student athletes tried out for the team, Pinckney had three freshmen declared ineligible by the Western Conference.[1] Due to this unfortunate circumstance, the Fighting Illini played the season with a depleted lineup and finished the season with the worst record in the history of the school. The decision to make freshmen ineligible gave Pinckney the same problem Brown had faced one season earlier.[2]
