CHARLESTON – Tony Romo plans to attend Eastern Illinois’ Homecoming weekend with Hall of Fame inductions moved to that Oct. 17 day as well.
Romo, now an All-Pro quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, had been already been chosen for induction into EIU’s Hall of Fame.
With the Cowboys not having a game the weekend of Oct. 17, Romo has agreed to come back to campus for the game when EIU plays host to Tennessee Tech at 1:30 p.m.
The Hall of Fame day usually conducted for EIU's home football opener now has been moved back to the Homecoming weekend.
Additional inductees this year are former basketball standout Henry Domercant, baseball standout and current EIU assistant coach Sean Lyons, former NAIA wrestling champion Don Neece and longtime friend of athletics Ed Corley.
