Ex-Illini WR Darius Millines Voices Displeasure With Tim Beckman As Well

(CBS) Another ex-Illinois football player has voiced his displeasure over coach Tim Beckman's leadership and disciplinary measures.

Three days after former offensive lineman Simon Cvijanovic accused Beckman and the program of mistreatment of players, former receiver Darius Millines shared an account of how Beckman made him as if "I if I wasn't a team player or even a part of the team" after visiting his family while his father was sick.

Millines played for Beckman in 2012 and is now a receiver at Colorado State-Pueblo after transferring. He made the allegations on his Twitter account.

Here's a pieced-together excerpt from Millines' tweets:

I mean it is a lot of things that people of the Illini nation need to know about the Illini football team and what was going on. To be honest I don't even know to start lol smh. Let me chill out about this. Im going to speak my mind. Bump the consequences. I feel something has to be done.

I'm going to start it off like this because this is the thing that really gets to me. My dad was diagnosed with cancer. We were told by doctors he would make it to 50! Beckman made it very hard for me to go home and see my dad. I returned to campus and was made to feel by the coaching staff that I had hurt and let my team down. He had me thinking as if I wasn't a team player or even a part of the team.

Millines was displeased with how he was disciplined by Beckman.

I'm not going to post the pictures of where he moved my locker after I violated team rules for the first time in 3 years. He made me feel as if I wasn't even a part of the team any more. Darrius Caldwell was down there with me too he knows what I'm talking about.

These allegations weren't as serious those levied by Cvijanovic -- who says he was misled about injuries and asked to play when hurt -- but it continues to be a bad look for Beckman and the program.

Beckman's released two statements on the allegations, the latest saying he's been "overwhelmed by the support" from current and former players and families and disappointed in the allegations.

Illinois athletic director Mike Thomas initially said the university would conduct an internal investigation into the allegations. After outside pressures, the university confirmed Wednesday that it plans an independent investigation, the Associated Press reported.
