Anthony Fields receives his release- will transfer

Last year's schedule was more friendly than this coming year is looking. So unless we hear of some winnable home games, it could be tough to reach 9 or 10 wins.
There are already 3 road games and 3 neutral court games on the pre-conference schedule-

Mon. Nov. 16 at Arizona
Thurs. Nov. 19-Sun. Nov. 22- 3 games in the Charleston Classic (other teams G. Mason, LBSU, OK. State, Ole Miss, Seton Hall, Towson, Virginia)
Tues. Dec. 8 at UT-Arlington
Sun. Dec. 20 at Boise State

There is still a Las Vegas tournament that had been mentioned, but the latest word was that Bradley was going to get out of that.

With such a young team, I don't know which, if any, of those games we could count on a win. We should have 6 or 7 home games that have not been announced yet, so hopefully we'll see some winnable games at home.

You make a great point. Tougher competition could offset better talent, better coaching and better team work. A new team playing together the first season will have a learning curve. Makes sense. Brings me back to earth.

The surprising ones were the early, quick decisions by Sutherland, Morgan, and Amerson.

Yes they may have been a surprise but we sure in the hell aren't going to miss them.

am i reading this right?

"Fields??™ field of study is marketing and business. While Bradley has an award-winning business MBA program, Fields said he wouldn??™t qualify for it."

Bradley gave him a degree but doesn't think they prepared him enough to qualify him to attempt a masters degree in the same subject?

Seriously? There is not a single grad school in the country that offers advanced degrees in every different area of business and management. Fields has said that he wants to pursue an MBA in sports management. Though Bradley has an award winning and highly esteemed MBA program, they do not currently offer an MBA specifically in sports management from what I understand. Maybe with the Steiner School of Sports Journalism, something with sports management may develop in the future, but apparently it does not exist now. Does ISU offer that? I doubt there are many schools in Illinois that do. Can't blame the kid for pursuing what he wants to pursue.
Bradley prepared me well for my future, but they did not offer the professional curriculum I chose to pursue, either. This is quite common.
