what school do the chicago ballers go to now?

always hated playing at Illinois on NCAA Basketball 10 and College Hoops 2K8 cause the student section always made the camera shake

It varies but Simeon used to crank them out, Leo had a few, one of the thorn schools would have a few (Thornton, Thornridge, Thornwood, thornton fractional north or south) a private school or immediate suburbs
