Illinois says the school is ending its tradition of playing "war chant" music during sporting events. Athletic department spokesman Kent Brown says the Illini made the decision in an effort to be more inclusive and because students haven't responded to it as much at football games. The music stems from the school's former mascot, Chief Illiniwek, a tradition that ended in 2007. (AP Photo/Seth Perlman, File)
