The Clout College mess at the University of Illinois is proving costly thus far. According to a report in today's Tribune, the school has already spent about $440,000 in legal bills. School spokesman Thomas Hardy told the Trib, "Nobody is staffed up for a tsunami, but once it hits, you go out and get the resources to be able to respond. I would expect that additional bills that we receive will also be significant."
