as expected Bradley is still hovering on the mid-70's among NCAA Division I programs...
Bradley ranks #74...still good enough for 2nd best in the MVC after decades of Bradley ranking in the mid to low 40's, then 50's, but attendance has dropped way off.
Here are some representative schools...Kentucky has LOST their hold on 1st place..
#1 Syracuse 26,253
