No this time it is not about Bradley. It is about Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Their AD just first Rob Jeter, and fans, and supporters are angry about it.
They even have journalists at the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel who have the integrity and guts to report the truth about the tyrranical AD there.
This is worth reading-
This all may sound familiar to Bradley fans.
But the difference is that at least in Milwaukee, they have journalists willing to actually report truth and facts about what everyone saw and everyone knew was going on.
In Peoria, we have no such thing. Sorry if someone doesn't like me beating a dead horse, but we still have never seen any attempt by the media to report the real truth about what happened to the Bradley basketball program, or to report the incredible financial malfeasance at the top of the administration that caused the Board of Trustees (made up mostly of strong supporters of JG) to take an unprecedented step of firing the President, the AD, and the Head Coach, and starting over again to regain legitimacy and respectability.
But for some reason, the media members who were around the program the most, and who saw and knew what was happening, were more beholden to Joanne than to reporting the truth, and thus it still has never been reported.
But reporters like this one in Milwaukee, and others around the country, show that most reporters want to report the truth, even if they have to work hard, dig to get to it, and even if they have to take chances and report facts from sources like- "one source close to the program who asked not to be identified out of fear of retribution."
Also, in the last couple paragraphs- the writer reports that one influential donor at Milwaukee was snubbed and offended, and pulled back his donations of "about $50,000 a year". Yet unfortunately, that happened at Bradley with many influential donors, and our media has never bothered to report it.
Multiple gifts of $3 million or more were pulled back over disputes with the former president (including Puterbaugh, Turner, Gough, and more), causing Bradley to lose tens of millions of dollars in donations. And that doesn't even begin to count the millions lost in ticket revenues and donations to the athletic department.
