The tragic plane crash that killed former U.S. Senator Ted Stevens and four others in Alaska has a Big Ten connection.

Bill Phillips Sr., the father of Indiana freshman tight end Paul Phillips, was among those killed in the crash. Paul Phillips' brother, Willy, was among the four survivors.

Paul Phillips has left Bloomington and Indiana's training camp to be with his family, while Hoosiers head coach Bill Lynch informed the team of what had happened at a meeting Tuesday night.
"The thoughts and prayers of the entire Indiana University community are with Paul, his family and everyone touched by this tragedy," Lynch said in a statement. "Please be respectful of the family as they deal with this private matter."



Bill Phillips Sr., a lobbyist in Washington, played football at Evansville and has two other sons, Andrew and Colter, who play football at Stanford and Virginia, respectively.

Needless to say, a very sad situation.

Please keep Paul Phillips and the rest of his family in your thoughts and prayers today.
