Illinois brought tears to the eyes of Nebraska fans when it presented the team with an autographed Illinois jersey of the late Sam Foltz.

On Saturday, Illinois offered up the same tribute to Mike Sadler.

Illinois presented MSU with a signed Illini jersey of the late former Michigan State punter:

In the aftermath of this tragedy, these tributes never get old. B1G teams have done a remarkable job of remembering Sadler and Foltz.

Surely those tributes are far from over.
