    Bradley Basketball Enjoys Record Semester in the Classroom
    PEORIA, Ill. -- Led by six players who earned places on the Athletic Director's Honor Roll, the Bradley men's basketball team enjoyed a program-best semester in the classroom during the 2008 Fall Semester, according to the calculation of student-athlete grades following the just completed grading period.? The athletic department has records for student-athlete semester grade point averages going back to 1986 and the marks recorded by the men's basketball team's 16 rostered players are the program's best during the last 43 semester grading periods.?


    congratulations to the guys!

      Bradley 72 - Illini 68 Final

      ???It??™s awful hard,??™??™ said Illini freshman guard D.J. Richardson, the former Central High School guard who played prep school ball a few miles from here and fought back tears outside the locker room. ???It??™s a hometown thing. It??™s bragging rights.??™

        Here is a sad commentary on academics and athletics...



        a few of the interesting comments...

        Many athletes lag far behind on SAT scores

        the bottom five-- Oklahoma State, Louisville, Memphis, Florida, Texas Tech
        Nationwide, coaches who would never offer a scholarship to a player who
        was 6 inches shorter or half a second slower than other prospects routinely
        recruit players whose standardized test scores suggest they’re at a
        competitive disadvantage in the classroom.


        "It’s the price of winning.
        “If you’re going to mount a competitive program in Division I-A, and our
        institution is committed to do that, some flexibility in admissions of athletes is
        going to take place,”



        "The problem is there’s a huge world of Mickey Mouse courses and special
        curriculums that athletes are steered into"


        "Schools with the highest admissions standards, such as Georgia Tech; the
        University of Virginia; the University of California, Berkeley; UCLA; and the
        University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, had the biggest gaps between the
        SAT averages for athletes and the overall student body."
