As we have talked about before, ESPN now has a website dedicated to Chicago area sports. However, they have omitted Bradley from their list of colleges.

Here are a couple previous topics-

Well, Bradley has been in touch with them a few times and they have promised to add Bradley to their website.
However, nothing has happened yet.
It would probably help if we get a bunch of us Bradley fans to email them again, and ask that they add Bradley to their site.

So please click on this link, and send them a request to add Bradley University basketball to their list of schools covered on their site.

I suggest sending the message to ESPN-Chicago Management or to the Webmaster-

Here is the direct email address-

Here is the message I sent. Feel free to copy this, or send your own message similar to this-
I enjoy your coverage of sports in Chicago and Illinois. My major interest is college basketball.
On this page for colleges, I notice you list some of the colleges in Illinois, but omit Bradley University.

Could you please add Bradley University basketball to your list of teams that you routinely cover.
Thanks.

Maybe a victory over Loyola will prove we deserve consideration.

Beyond just pointing that out, point out the other Illinois schools ignored (Chicago St, for example), and the fact they're missing ISU's football link while including SIU's football link. Just tell them to clean up that page and get all the links on there.

That is a noble goal. But for right now, I suggest we try to work just on them getting a Bradley link. Surely those other schools have their own fans to deal with their schools' problems, and I doubt Bradley fans care whether they cover Chicago State or ISU football.
At least ISU and SIU have links on their sites. They completely ignore Bradley as if we don't exist.

Bradley fans please click here and tell them you want to see them cover Bradley-

Their comment link does not work, or at least for me so I emailed them directly. The site is not well done.

Doesn't that happen almost every year anyway?

Think they would laugh at us now.

Hi Pete,

We hear you loud and clear. You'll be happy to know that we agree with your suggestion and have added Bradley University to College Teams under the TEAMS tab on ESPNChicago.com.

Check that out here: http://espn.go.com/chicago/teams/index#college

Also keep an eye out for future Bradley University coverage.

Lastly -- which comment section are your referring to and what browser do you use?
