Would you?

Question for all of you fellow Bradley Fans...

Answer as truthfully as you can. Be realistic.

I'm not saying breaking the rules is ok, but if we had a program that did what would you be ok with?

hmmm

I bet no one deep inside would want Bradley to run a strict straight program and never win the MVC.......come on how PC do we have to be this is an anonymous board.

A bent rule is not a broken rule. Bend away Jimmy.

Be aggresive in recruiting .....but stay clean and compete for the Valley Title....I want a product that I can have fun watching and proud (hard workers on and off the court and staying out of trouble) to say these guys are my team....I could go on...and on...going to the Sweet Sixteen every few years would be WOW..that was a ton of fun!

Thats how I interpreted it... and those who don't ever bend just aren't looking for the loopholes

[AZ BU Fan]

The "rules" as published by the NCAA are so arcane, inane, and unwieldly, BU is probably already bending, if not breaking, something in the MBB NCAA rule book without even knowing, let alone trying!

Therefore, BU needs to do a better job of bending the rules so they can better compete in the MVC.

Hopefully the new AD and asst coach will help BU do a better job of living on the edge vis a vis adhearing to the spirit, if not the letter, of the ridiculous NCAA rules and regs that others apparently have figured out a way to beat!

i say we give our recruits white Mercedes convertibles!

Everyone bends the rules to an extent.

need to bear that in mind. Cheating and not graduating players will not get you in trouble, but that d-a-m-n losing. ...??? Royce Waltman

WELL

Very much agree.

Where's the option where we run a clean program and win the national championship every year?

do you think coach K cheats? I mean I dont know one way or another but he won with a team of 4 year guys most of whom wont even play in the NBA or if they do it wont be for long. Does Izzo cheat? Did Brad Stevenson? I dont even think Huggins cheated for his team. I could be wrong but I hope not.

1. Great question for this thread.

2. Yes, it's been proven Coach K has cheated. Read all about the Corey Maggette and Chris Duhon fiascos. It's as shady as it gets. Izzo is a better example. I have yet to hear something about him.

3. I voted for this "Everyone knows BU breaks rules to make the NCAA tourney every year but can't prove it."

My reasoning being we have broken rules and gotten in trouble in the past, and still can't manage to get out of the middle. If we're gonna break the rules, we might as well make it worth it. You can't compare us to BCS schools in that regard because we clearly play by different rules. I compare us to our peers in the MVC - If we're going to do it, we had better start dominating like we did in the 80's, otherwise it's pointless.
